Don’t let safety take a back seat during the busy holidays. It’s a hectic time with all of the rushing around town to purchase presents or grabbing the last few ingredients you need for the family dinner.
You can easily get caught up in the hustle and bustle and become careless or vulnerable to theft and other crimes that are very common during the holidays.
Here are 12 Tips for Holiday Safety from Alexander Shunnarah Personal Injury Attorneys, P.C. have provided a few key reminders on safety this season.
- Avoid driving alone at night. If unavoidable, stay on very well-lit roads.
- Make sure all of your car doors are locked and your windows are up before you leave your vehicle. Never hurts to double check!
- If you have valuables in your car, place them out of sight or in your trunk.
- Park close to your destination and keep note of your parking spot. There are apps available to help you!
- Never leave your car running while unoccupied. It’s also a waste of gas!
