Summer driving tips for safer travelling - • .
As you head out on the roads and
highways this summer, here are a
few tips to keep in mind to keep you
and your family safe.
Summer brings increased traffic to
roads and highways.
During the summer, tourists and
vacationers add to the usual amount
of traffic faced on everyday routes.
The weekends are also busier than
usual, with people travelling to
cottages, golf courses or one of
Ontario's great tourist attractions.
Like any time of year, safe driving
practices are the best way to deal
with increased traffic. It can get
hectic out there, so try to stay calm.
Drive at a safe speed and be
courteous to other drivers. Speeding,
tailgating, weaving in and out of
traffic and not yielding the right-of-
way can lead to collisions.
If you're tired at the wheel, stop at
a safe rest area, or take a break and
treat yourself to a coffee or an ice-
cream. You'll feel rejuvenated and
more alert.
And as always, make sure
everyone in your vehicle is buckled
up. Babies and young children
should be in car seats and booster
seats.
Proper use of seatbelts and child
car seats, including booster seats, is'
the single most effective way to.
reduce vehicle-related injuries and
fatalities.
Health Canada statistics show that
motor vehicle collisions are the
leading cause of death among
children from one to nine years of
age and child car seat clinics held
across Ontario demonstrate that as
many as four out of five child seats
are installed or used incorrectly.
PACKING YOUR CAR
On Friday night and Saturday
mornings, the highways are full of
vehicles stuffed to the max with
supplies for the weekend, as well as
sporting and camping equipment. If
you're heading out to the cottage,
don't let these extra items block your
view of the road. Make sure any
loads are securely tied onto your
vehicle, and if you are carrying a
large load, slow down. Tie down
loads and make sure you have a clear
view of the road.
KEEP ON THE LOOKOUT
In addition to the number of cars
on the road, cyclists and
motorcyclists come out of
hibernation in the summer and can
be hard to spot.
There is also increased activity
close to the road. Once school is out,
'more children are playing outside.
There are rollerbladers,
skateboarders and scooters on
sidewalks and streets, and all-terrain
vehicles can appear unexpectedly by
the side of the road.
Watch for pedestrians and activity
by the side of the road.
DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE
Summer also gives us lots of
opportunities to get together with
family and friends. If you are going
to have a few drinks at a picnic or
barbecue, make sure you have a
designated driver.
Summer is also prom season. If
your son or daughter is graduating
this year, find out what the high
school is doing to make sure
students don't drink and drive during
or after the festivities.
CONSTRUCTION SEASON
And as everyone knows, summer
also brings increased construction
on roads and highways. Keep road
workers safe by being prepared to
stop or slow down in construction
zones.
