The holiday season is in full swing, and that means you’ve probably noticed a lot more traffic on the road. With Orlando being such a tourist destination, you’ll see plenty of people from out of town that are here for an annual visit trying to navigate the roads. To make sure you’re safe this holiday season, the team at Toyota of Orlando has put together a few safe driving tips to remember when you’re on the road.

Safe driving tips to know this holiday season

It’s incredibly important to stay safe whenever you’re on the road. But it might seem a little more crowded in Orlando thanks to the holidays. That’s why we recommend following these safe driving tips so you can have a less stressful experience on the road.

Leave early

No matter when you’re supposed to arrive at your destination, we recommend leaving a little bit early. You never know what the roads may be like during the holidays! If you leave a bit early, you’re giving yourself a buffer of time that will allow for unforeseen circumstances to not affect you as much. Which means you won’t be stressed trying to make it on time!

Know alternate routes

Sometimes roads can get closed thanks to parades, accidents, and more. And there’ll be times where you just won’t be able to handle the traffic that’s on the road. That’s why it’s important to have an alternative route as a Plan B. In new Orlando Toyota vehicles, you’ll be able to find features like HD predictive traffic and navigation that can help you find the quickest route to your destination.

Brace yourself for traffic

While getting stuck in traffic may be stressful, it’s practically unavoidable during the holiday season. It’s important to stay aware even if Orlando traffic is bumper to bumper. We recommend:

  • Driving cautiously and following the speed limit at all times
  • Leave plenty of space between cars
  • Don’t get distracted
  • This is probably one of the most important safe driving tips you can know. Distracted driving is incredibly unsafe, and puts you and the other people around you in a dangerous position. Some tips to avoid distracted driving include:
  • Keep your cell phone away and your phone on the “Do Not Disturb” setting.
  • Don’t rubberneck if you see an accident, construction, etc. on the side of the road
  • Stay safe in Orlando! With everything that is going on during the holidays, it’s easy to get distracted. Just be sure to remember these safe driving tips from our Toyota of Orlando team. They’ll help you make sure you’re safe on the road whether it’s the holiday season or any other time of the year.
