Not all accidents are preventable, but there are some steps you can take now that may help you avoid disaster down the road.

Travel with an emergency roadside kit just in case!
Drive considerably slower than you normally would when roads are wet. Wet roads are very dangerous. Your vehicle’s reaction time is much slower when it is raining so a reduced speed is imperative and could prevent an accident! ☔️
From the Hammer's family to yours, we hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Make sure you get plenty of rest before your holiday trips! Lack of sleep can slow down your reaction time which is a big risk during extended periods of driving. Take breaks when needed. 🚘#holidaytravel
Reaction time can be slower when driving in the rain. Maintain a distance of several car lengths between your car and other vehicles to give yourself plenty of time to brake. ⛈
Holiday Travel Hack! 🚨In most areas, gas prices rise as we get closer to the weekend so fill up earlier in the week before you depart to save money 💸 #travelhacks #holidaytravel
As rain causes humidity levels to increase you may find that your vehicle’s windows become foggy. Use the ventilation system in your car to reduce the fog. Be sure to pull over if your windows become too foggy and give it time to dissipate.
Tis the season for get-togethers! Between Christmas parties with family, friends, and work you may be tempted to have a few drinks. Just be sure to plan ahead with a designated driver or take a taxi. 🙌
Whether it's a trip to see family or a Christmas shopping excursion, remember that the roads will be full of people doing the same thing! Give yourself plenty of time and be patient with other drivers. 🚘#holidaytravel
Don’t use cruise control so you can be in full control! When it's rainy out, slow your vehicle by taking your foot off the accelerator earlier than you normally would in preparation to slow down or stop. 🛑 It's better to be safe than sorry!
Reminder: Criminals are on the hunt for expensive gifts and valuables left in cars. It’s best to double check your locks and hide anything that can be seen through the windows! ✅

There is nothing quite so nerve-wracking as your first car crash. Except, maybe, your second. Okay, all car crashes are nerve-wracking, but for teen drivers, they can be especially so. Make sure the teen drivers in your home know what to do after an accident.

Welcome to the New Year!
It's the last day of 2020! How are you going to celebrate the new year?
New Year’s Resolutions are things we love to make and, more importantly, love to break. The end of one year and the start of another is a time of retrospection and goal-setting. We all, undeniably, have things about ourselves or our respective situations that we would love to improve, so it’s no surprise that the bulk of resolutions center on curbing or ditching bad habits.
