Time to be extra Careful!

The Happy open Road Awaits!

It's that time of year to celebrate the end of the year in your own style. Generally, its a time for goodwill and family happiness, so if you are the driver in the family you perhaps should keep in mind that your family are looking to you to be the bearer of good and happy news. You can do that by conducting yourself with responsibility and by avoiding hurting yourself, and especially not harming anyone else.

Stay sober, stay alert, stay alive. If you don't want to stay sober then convince someone else to stay free of alcohol and to do the driving.

Have a Happy holiday driving experience, and help to lower those awful road statisics to even lower levels during 2013.

Merry Christmas and an even Merrier 2013!
