Survive the Drive!

Tips to remember as you travel over the break:

• Eat hard candies, chocolate, soda, etc. to keep busy and keep your energy up
• Get enough sleep the night before
• Don’t turn the heat up too high
• Avoid driving for more than two hours at a time
• Eat healthy before and during the trip
• Listen to music to prevent zoning out
• No matter what you do, it’s a long drive; don’t speed or drive aggressively!
• WWJD: be polite to others on the road
• Texting while driving is worse than being drunk
