Police Remind Drivers to Use Caution During the Holidays

TYLER — Due to heavy traffic conditions, driving during the Holiday Season can be a very stressful experience. The Tyler Police Department would like to remind all drivers to pay special attention to their driving skills. Drivers tend to become impatient with the heavy traffic flow and as a result, sometimes drive too fast for traffic and weather conditions and run red lights. The stress of the Holiday traffic sometimes results in aggressive driving like: cutting drivers off, tailgating , honking the horn, speeding, unsafe lane changes, driving over medians and failing to yield right of way.

Police ask you to keep both hands on the wheel and not your cell phone in case you need to take evasive action. Remember to buckle everyone up with a seat belt and don’t drink and drive. The Tyler Police Department encourages everyone to drive safe so that they may have a Happy Holiday!
