DING YOUR NT REPORT Why It’s Important
DRIVING THIS THANKSGIVING? 3 Tips to Stay Safe
Police officers are only human, which means they make mistakes. In the chaotic aftermath of an accident, details can also be lost or misconstrued. So, when you receive your report, you should read it carefully and verify that all statements are accurate. If there are errors in the report, you will need to contest it. Contesting the report alone can spark an investigation, but you will generally need evidence to show the report is inaccurate. Such evidence can include photographs from the scene or witness statements. If you know you are partially but not fully at fault, this is also crucial information for limiting your damages. If you need help understanding your accident report or have to contest the information within it, Harmonson Law can help. Our experienced attorneys can help you confirm that your police report is 100% accurate and, if necessary, dispute any errors. Call us today for a free consultation.
Compared to 2020, experts are expecting significantly more travelers to visit their relatives this Thanksgiving. If you’re one of many who stayed home last year, your holiday travel readiness might be a little rusty. And if you’re traveling by car, that can lead to dangerous situations and avoidable accidents. Keep yourself and your family safe this year by knowing what to expect. Here are three tips to get you to grandma’s house intact and with minimal fuss.
Be prepared. Before you buckle up and head out, make sure your ducks are all in a row. You should have a full tank of gas, a GPS, and snacks ready in the car. Just in case, you should also have an emergency car kit. If you are traveling with kids, make sure to bring along something to keep them occupied — children can be amazingly distracting when they’re bored. Lastly, check the weather so you know what to expect before you start your journey. Be patient. Chances are you’re going to hit some traffic — the day before Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel days of the year. If this is the day you plan to drive, you should probably leave early, but you’re still going to need to practice patience. Getting angry or frustrated will negatively impact your driving skills and increase the likelihood of an accident. Remember, everyone wants to get off the freeway and to their destination as badly as you do; aggravation won’t get you there any faster. Be alert. Drowsy drivers are a major threat to road safety, so ensure you’re well rested before you get behind the wheel. If you get tired, don’t try to power through it — pull over. You can eat or exercise until you’re awake enough to drive or nap if you just can’t keep your eyes open. Even if you’re not feeling sleepy, you should take breaks from driving every couple hours and switch out drivers if you’re traveling with another adult.
