/EINPresswire.com/ Amy Witherite, a Dallas auto accident lawyer, reminds North Texas drivers to be safe this holiday season. When traveling during the holidays, you should:

Leave early. Give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination. Not only will you feel more relaxed, but you will not push yourself to take risky driving maneuvers.

Watch for drivers who have over-indulged. While many drunk driving accidents occur at night, during the holiday season, a driver may drink too much eggnog at a holiday brunch.

Make sure your car is working properly. Check the brakes, battery, oil, tires, and engine to make sure your car can handle a long trip.

If you decorate your car, do so safely. Make sure that your decorations do not reduce your visibility or stick out beyond your car’s frame.

Secure your tree and packages. Strap your tree down tightly so it does not fly off your car. If you are transporting a lot of gifts, make sure you arrange them so that you can still see out the rear window.

Plan your route in advance. Schedule breaks so that you do not get fatigued. But, of course, if you feel tired, do not hesitate to break your schedule and pull over.

Take it easy. Know that other drivers will be in a rush. Even if you have the right of way, do not get upset about yielding to others.

With the right attitude and a little preparation, you will get to your destination safely. To speak to Ms. Witherite or to another Dallas injury accident lawyer, contact Dallas & Houston based lawyers of Eberstein & Witherite, LLP at 214.378.6665
