Dinkla says if all drivers adhere to posted speed limits, wear a seatbelt, and avoid operating while distracted and intoxicated, it will make all highways and streets safer and reduce the chance of accidents occuring. According to AAA, a record number of over 110 million people are expected to travel on the roads and through the air for the holidays this week.
