What To Prepare
Now, if you’re heading out, there are a few things you might want to keep in mind to make the process quick and smooth. When you approach a checkpoint, make sure you have your license, registration, and proof of insurance easily accessible. This will help keep everything moving along and make your experience at the checkpoint more pleasant.
Stay Safe and Have Fun!
Enjoying a night out is one of the best parts of the holiday season, but it’s essential to do it safely. If you plan on having a drink or two, consider making arrangements for a designated driver or using a rideshare service. Remember, the ultimate goal is to keep our community safe and sound.
