With Thanksgiving fast approaching and everyone starting to make plans for the holiday, please keep in mind that the Thanksgiving holiday is one of the busiest travel times of the year, and with all the excitement travelers tend to become more focused on the celebrations and less on getting to their destinations as safely as possible. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), during the 2011 Thanksgiving holiday 249 passenger vehicle occupants were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes nationwide, 50 percent were not wearing seat belts. This Thanksgiving, and every day, please make sure to buckle up so that you arrive safely to your destination and can celebrate with your loved ones.
