-Slow down and pay attention to what you’re doing. If you get tired, pull over in a safe spot and walk around to re-energize. -Don’t drink and drive, even a little bit. -Designate a (sober) driver. -Stay off the mobile phone – this includes texting. Designate a “co-pilot” to oversee the phone while you’re driving so you can concentrate on the task at hand. -Stay weather-aware. We’re not expecting bad weather, but this is Texas and you never know. -Leave plenty of time to get to your destination. Roadways are likely to be crowded. Drive friendly – the Texas way!
