There are more drivers on the road during the Thanksgiving holidays; be sure you’re safe!

Are you driving this Thanksgiving? AAA predicts that there will be 48.7 million people on the road between today and Sunday. That’s a 1.9 increase from the number predicted last year, equivalent to an increase of one million drivers! The lower gas prices mean that there are likely to be more drivers on the road this year.
