Driving Safety Reminders for the Return Trip
Before driving yourself, pay attention to the weather and make good plans. Be alert to rain, snow, and patchy fog, and follow standard driving practices. Please keep this holiday return safety reminder handy.
Special Reminder
"Smart driving" is absolutely not "autonomous driving." When "smart driving" is activated, keep both hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. It is strictly forbidden to take your hands off the wheel, look away, or doze off while distracted!
Special Reminder
In autumn, some highway sections are prone to patchy fog. When driving in fog, always remember to "reduce speed, control distance, and turn on lights."
