He encourages travelers to get a head start on a “shoulder day,” the Friday going into a holiday weekend. Ingram wants drivers to make it to and from their destination safely and efficiently. He said drivers need to have an emergency kit in their car before leaving home to be prepared for any issues that may arise. Some important items to include are water, snacks, and cell phone chargers.
Ingram emphasized that it is crucial for all drivers to eliminate any and all distractions. With the high volume of traffic this weekend, he said there will be more cars on the road, some closer than usual making your reaction time and margin of error less than usual. “That’s why it’s so important to keep your eyes and focus on the road and your surroundings so that you can watch for those people that may be doing something behind the wheel that is distracting that they shouldn’t be doing,” Ingram said.
