Thanksgiving Accidents Dangerous times on the road Thanksgiving as with other Holidays are dangerous times to be on the road. It seems to be the highest day of travel for the United States. Whether it’s by air or car, we all can show a little more observance. Sometimes people can avoid accidents if they could think on their feet fast enough. Not that all accidents are avoidable. But some certainly are avoidable. Thanksgiving for a lot for people means family. I’m not sure where alcohol and drugs play a part. Be careful if you travel this Holiday season. Don’t be a statistic. Eat some turkey; spend time with friends, family, and children. If you have to drink, be wise, don’t drive. I’m going to drink some wine, I’m sure. But I’m not going to drive The number of Family’s hitting the road this Thanksgiving is expected to decrease from 2019 due to current conditions. They will be taking shorter trips. AAA says Tuesday in its annual forecast that a stronger economy is needed to spur a bigger jump in holiday travel growth. AAA predicts 43.6 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home, up just 0.7 percent from last year. More people will travel, but they will go less distance. Gas prices have dropped a little bit, so this may be why the increase in traffic.
