Have a happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving weekend is one of the busiest travel times of the year.

No matter if you're going across the county or across the country, it's essential to wear your seat belt. Buckling your seat belt gives you the best defense against injury or death in a crash.

Please buckle up this Thanksgiving, and everyday.
