The Holidays

The end of the year is a wonderful, magical and exciting time because the holidays put drivers in the spirit of speeding with care. They sometimes use the turn signal, almost come to a complete stop, they engage in friendly tailgating, bashful brake checking, and use expressions of polite type of road rage. Examples of polite road rage would be cussing out another driver with your windows up instead of down, pumping a single fist instead of waving both middle fingers, or gradually letting off the accelerator instead of slamming on your brakes.

It's the holidays, it's about cutting other drivers off with a smile and cheer! Parents put in vacation time, college students come home from failing the first semester, and grade school children are anticipating the road trip to a relative’s house or maybe a Christmas vacation in another city or state. The roads get busy during this time of year. Here are a few tips from Comedy Driving Inc. to help avoid those holiday headaches.

• Fill the gas tank of the vehicle to full, do not leave on an empty tank
• Make sure your vehicle has four inflated tires and a spare just in case
• Check the oil in the vehicle, change the oil if necessary
• Lock the front door, back door, and windows to your house when you leave
• Pack clothes and shoes to wear and do not forget a toothbrush and extra underwear
• Do not forget to bring most or all your children
• Tell mother in law there is no more room in the vehicle
• f the mother in law creates space for herself to ride, make sure to get your mind right
• Pack additional headache medicine since mother in law is riding along
• Plan for way too many restroom stops, you have kids and a mother in law
• If you are stopped by a chupacabra who threatens your family’s lives, offer mother in law as a sacrifice
• Most importantly enjoy the holidays with a lot of beer, I mean cheer, lots and lots of cheer!
