Planning a road trip over the upcoming holidays? 🚗 Don't let overdue vehicle maintenance put the brakes on your plans. Avoid a breakdown by having your tires, brakes, fluids and battery checked now, before you get ready to hit the road. spr.ly/6016BH27Zs

Running late? Stuck behind a slower driver? 🚗 Frustration isn't an excuse for aggressive driving. Tailgating, weaving through traffic and speeding put everyone at risk. Stay calm, leave space and make safety your priority.

The speed limit is for ideal conditions—not necessarily November weather. 🌧️ Rain, wet leaves and slick pavement can make stopping more difficult. Slow down, increase following distance and adjust your driving to conditions.

Your AAA membership can take you places! 🚗✈️ From travel planning assistance and hotel discounts to savings on rental cars and attractions, AAA offers benefits that go well beyond roadside assistance. Explore what your membership can do. spr.ly/6012BHLqRA

The roadside worker helping a stranded driver is someone's family member, friend or neighbor. When you see flashing lights, slow down and, when safe, move over a lane. Help them get home to the people waiting for them. #MoveOverMonday #SDMO

Halloween night calls for extra caution behind the wheel. 🎃 Slow down in neighborhoods, scan between parked cars and expect children to cross unexpectedly. Put the phone away. If alcohol is part of your Halloween celebration, plan a sober ride home before the festivities begin.

A little preventive maintenance this fall can help prevent a much bigger winter headache. Fall Car Care Month is a good time for a vehicle checkup before colder weather settles in. 🔧 spr.ly/6017BHlp4t

New AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety research shows that while motorcycles only make up 1% of animal-related crashes, they make up 1/2 of all fatalities in those crashes. Dawn, dusk & overnights are especially dangerous as deer are active but may be hard to see in the dark.

Before trick-or-treaters head out, make sure drivers can see them. 🎃 Add reflective material or lights to costumes and treat bags, carry a flashlight and choose costumes that don't block vision or create a tripping hazard.

A roadside worker is helping someone who needs them—and someone is waiting for that worker to come home, too. Slow down and, when safe, move over a lane when approaching flashing lights. #MoveOverMonday #SDMO

Would your auto insurance cover damage if you hit a deer? 🦌 Animal strikes are generally handled under comprehensive coverage—not collision. Fall is a good time to review your policy and know what protection you have. spr.ly/6017BHZtLV

Thanks @8NEWS for having my daughter and I on the "Kids these Days RVA" podcast to talk Teen Driver safety. Parents, those training days in the passenger seat with your teen at the wheel are so important in helping them become safe and confident drivers.🚗wric.com/kids-these-days-rva…

The habits teens develop behind the wheel can last a lifetime. 🚗 During Teen Driver Safety Week (Oct. 18–24), talk with your teen about speeding, distractions, impaired driving, seat belts and limiting passengers. Set the rules. Set the example. #TeenDriverSafetyWeek

Summer miles can take a toll on your tires. Before winter arrives, check tread depth, tire pressure and overall condition. Fall Car Care Month is a good time to make sure they're ready for the season ahead. spr.ly/6011BHTKJl

The highway may be part of your commute, but for roadside workers, it’s their workplace. When you see flashing lights, slow down and, when safe, move over a lane. Help give them a safer place to work. #MoveOverMonday #SDMO
