Summer Driving Tips

Its summer time and people are traveling more than normal! Here are some driving safety tips to avoid an accident when behind the wheel:

- Don’t allow children to fight or climb around in the car (they should be buckled in their seats at all times).

- Cell phones can also take your focus away from the task at hand. Learn more in the Nationwide Blog about the under-reporting of cell phone involvement in fatal car crashes.

- Avoid driving when you’re tired. Be aware that some medications can cause drowsiness and make operating a vehicle very dangerous.

- Always use caution when changing lanes. Changing lanes too fast or not using your signals or cutting in front of someone may cause an accident or upset other drivers.

Horizon Community Credit Union wishes you a safe and happy summer!
