5 Safety Tips For Spring Breakers

Tip #1 – Driving Safety: Avoid falling asleep at the wheel by making sure the driver of the vehicle you’re riding in has had sufficient sleep to be on the road. This can happen to anyone and is avoidable when you rotate the driver, taking turns driving and sleeping. Make sure the driver has had enough rest before getting on any road or busy interstate.

Tip #2 – Communication: Keep communication open with friends and family when you’re traveling. Make sure that the people who matter most in your life know exactly where you plan on staying and the dates and times you plan on making your departure. This is particularly important in the event of an emergency.

Tip # 3 – Group Travels: Travel in groups to avoid getting victimized when on-the-road. This is important regardless of the gender of the travel group because anyone can become victimized.

Tip #4 – Hotel Safety: Avoid getting robbed by not leaving valuables within plain view of yourself when out in public, in your vehicle and in your hotel room.

Tip #5 – Party Safety: If you’re of age to drink, use caution when getting intoxicated in unfamiliar places and make sure that you remain with your travel group at all times. Try to make sure that at least one member of your group is sober on party nights. If you’re planning on traveling for several days or a week, take turns with this duty.
