Risk Management Minute... Is safe driving on your holiday list? It could be the best gift you give–or receive–this year. During the holidays, slow down on the road and give yourself a little more room to stop your car or avoid a crash. Buckle up, and plan ahead for a designated driver if you’re going to a party. Put away the phone, put down the food, the makeup, the book—keep eyes on the road, hands on the wheel and mind on driving. Enjoy these special holidays safely and you can look forward to a joyous new year.
