The holidays are for celebrating, being merry, and surrounded
by your loved ones and we, at Ira Toyota of Danvers, want to keep it that way.
This is often a chaotic time on the road, with holiday traveling in its prime
and drivers scurrying to finish last minute shopping. So we've compiled some
tips to keep you safe behind the wheel and prevent any holiday-related
hazards.
First and foremost, pay attention to the weather.
New England winters are unpredictable, so be aware of hourly forecasts of your
current location, your destination, and everywhere in between. Conditions can
change drastically, even from Danvers, MA to
Boston.
A vehicle like the Toyota 4Runner
is particularly handy because it not only offers an available all-wheel drive
system, but also the option of Entune and its data services. The latter
features live weather and traffic updates, to ensure you stay up to date even
on the go.
Be aware of your surroundings, especially because
many pedestrians are on the move in town and distracted by their holiday
shopping lists. Sources recommend the "sweep and scan" technique,
which entails consistently perusing the road ahead.
Take precautions for holiday partying. This means
double checking that all of your Toyota car's lights work as well as electing a
designated driver.
