There's more to responsible drinking than taking a cab. Don't put yourself— or your family— at risk to fire.

PAGE 24. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2001. CAA offers safety advice for spring break travellers Spring break can be an exciting time for college and university students, especially if travel is involved. But while you're having fun, take steps to ensure that your vacation is safe, advises CAA Central Ontario. "You can greatly reduce your chances of becoming a crime victim by following a few common sense suggestions," said Carey-Ann Greenham, spokesperson for CAA Central Ontario. "For many students, this could be their first major trip without their parents. They may get caught up in the excitement and let their guard down, making them more vulnerable to crime." CAA Central Ontario offers some tips for safe travel for college and university students: • Travel well-lighted streets and in a group. Avoid dark corners, alleys and entrances to buildings. • Never separate from your friends, especially at night. • Don't leave bags unattended at the airport or at the hotel when you arrive or leave. • At the airport or hotel check-in counter or shuttle, keep your attention on your bags. Criminals work in teams with one distracting you long enough for a partner to take your bag. • Never leave your drink unattended. As well, do not accept drinks from strangers. • Carry traveller's cheques since they can be replaced if stolen or lost. Never carry more cash than you can afford to lose. • Do not bring expensive jewellery on your vacation. • Quickly claim your bags at the airport baggage area. Criminals can grab bags not immediately picked up. • Purchase out-of-province medical and travel insurance before you leave Canada. This can be purchased through CAA. • Leave the name of the resort and a phone number where you can be reached with your parents or someone you trust. • Place cash and your passport in a hotel safe. Never carry your passport with you once you've reached your destination to reduce the chance of it being stolen. This is your key to getting back into Canada problem-free and it proves your Canadian citizenship to authorities in the country you are visiting. • When using a bank machine, choose one in a well-lighted, public area. • Follow your intuition. If you are in a situation where you feel you are in danger, leave immediately.
