Flying and Driving Safely This Holiday Season

As the holiday season approaches, there is much to look forward to—holiday decorations, gift-giving, and seeing family members, whether traveling across town, across state lines, or all the way to the other side of the country. This blog entry will provide tips on avoiding injury and theft, ensuring a safe drive or flight so you can enjoy a wonderful holiday—whether you’re celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa.

If you’re driving, the most important thing to do is ensure your car is properly maintained and capable of making the long drive through the winter. It’s a good idea to have your car inspected if any concerns arise, especially if winter weather conditions include heavy snow. Be sure to plan your route ahead of time and use the Waze app to avoid heavily congested or dangerous traffic. Keep at least half a tank of gasoline in your car at all times and stay informed about upcoming weather patterns. Equally important, have AAA saved on your phone in case you need roadside assistance. Driving in winter weather is incredibly dangerous, so it’s essential to have help available if needed. Likewise, keep your phone charged and carry a charger in your car if possible so you’re never caught unprepared.

If you get caught in a winter storm and your car breaks down, AAA offers safety tips: stay inside your vehicle, keep the interior lights on low so rescuers can find you, and ensure your exhaust pipe remains clear. Keep extra blankets and warm clothing in your car in case of emergencies, and tie a brightly colored cloth to your vehicle to make it more visible in the snow.

Additionally, avoid driving under the influence this holiday season. With alcohol flowing at celebrations, it’s crucial to plan ahead and never drive drunk. A DUI can lead to jail time, severe consequences, or even loss of life—so be responsible and stay safe.

For those flying, holiday travel comes with its own challenges. Book your flights well in advance to avoid last-minute sellouts. Save key contacts in your phone, including your airline and hotel chains, in case of delays. Pack light—sticking to carry-ons can help you avoid baggage claim hassles.

By following these tips, you can ensure a smooth and safe holiday journey, whether you’re driving a few hours away or flying across the country.

I would be remiss if I didn’t take the time to praise Mr. Sadigh after so many years of working together. Our attorney referred us to Mr. Sadigh when he was unable to help us with a pending lawsuit, and that was the best thing that could have happened to my husband and I. James has helped us through the years so very much, and assisted us in navigating through difficult situations.
