With spring's arrival and that of summer fast approaching, you'll be off to destinations far and wide. That's what summer driving season is all about. Though, with the variable onslaught of other motorists and the congestion sure to follow, safety is a must. With simple steps, you may mitigate danger or distractions, and remain in harmony with those sharing the roads. They might seem obvious, but forgetfulness may seep into routine.

When transporting gear, be it atop roof or hanging off read end, be mindful of secure tie-downs and tight fits. Anything can happen on highways engendering speed and quick conveyance, so gear stowed externally could take flight if found to be loose or too large for racks. Should anything fly off and damage another car or injure pedestrians, the fault could be yours to incur. Hence, secure your gear and equipment.
