Finally what we\u2019ve all been waiting for – a three day weekend.<\/p>\n

But, more importantly, it\u2019s Independence Day! The day we celebrate this wonderful country we live in, work in, and buy insurance in!<\/p>\n

With the Fourth of July comes beach visits, fireworks, and a lot of fun. I know Brown-Phillips Insurance will be on Fayetteville Street in Raleigh for festivities<\/a>. However, the Fourth also comes with a lot of driving, which can result in a lot of accidents. The Fourth of July has been found by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety to have more fatal car accidents than any other day of the year with 592 deaths. But don\u2019t unpack the car yet! We have a few tips so you can have a safe holiday.<\/p>\n

Always make sure everyone is buckled up.<\/strong>
\nEveryone has heard of the \u201cclick it or ticket\u201d campaign because it is one of the most successful seatbelt campaigns in the country. Did you know that wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of a fatal injury by 45%?
\nLeave early.<\/strong>
\nWhile you may have to wake up with the chickens in order to be packed up and ready to go, your life is much more important than an extra hour of sleep. TODAY’s Dylan Dreyer recommends leaving Friday before 7 a.m. or Saturday before 11 a.m. According to traffic and navigation app Waze, the worst time to travel is Thursday and Friday between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. And for the return trip, avoid driving Monday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.*
\nPrint out the directions ahead of time.<\/strong>
\nYou don\u2019t want to have to explain that the reason you rear-ended someone is because you missed what the GPS said to you and you frantically had to make sure you hadn\u2019t missed your turn.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your Fourth of July and stay safe! We\u2019ll see you Tuesday!<\/p>\n
