Holiday Shopping!

Can you believe it’s that time already? Holiday shopping: whether you do it early or late it is a mess. We want to reiterate the signs you see everywhere about “TAKE, LOCK, HIDE”. Whenever you are visiting multiple stores be mindful of where you are placing your purchases and remember to lock your car. Also, while you want to dash in and out of stores as quickly as possible do not get in such a rush that you ignore your surroundings. Please double check your mirror’s before backing out, it takes a split second for someone to get behind your vehicle. And finally, obey all traffic signs and signals; this is one of the most dangerous seasons for drivers. Happy holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

As we think about Thanksgiving, it seems only fitting to send out our thanks. We sincerely appreciate all of those that have done business with us in 2013 and in previous years. We look forward to continuing our current client relationships and developing many more. Tell us what you are thankful for this Thanksgiving!

Winterizing your Vehicle

This Traffic Tip Tuesday we want to remind those of you with a vehicle to begin winterizing. Every season it is good to do a routine check on your vehicle. For the winter these are a few suggestions we have.

1.      Is your washer fluid appropriate for freezing temperatures… if not it can freeze and potentially damage the reservoir and cause the washer system to become useless

2.      How old is your battery…is there any corrosion around it? Cold weather can at times cause a battery to die, in which case check that you have jumper cables!

3.      Do you own an ice scraper? We highly recommend you not drive with a frosted front or back windshield

4.      Keep at least a quarter to half tank of gas to keep your gas from freezing, and running out on a roadway in the cold.
