It’s summertime
You’ve planned for months (maybe years), dreamed of your
overseas destination and made reservations. You want to enjoy your family time
together. “Don’t wreck your vacation”
from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) shares some tips to minimize your risk of
a car crash while on vacation in a foreign country. Almost half of the medical evacuations from
foreign countries to the US result from a car crash. Some of these tips involve things we
routinely do at home like wear seatbelts and use car seats for small
children. Here’s some tips you may not be thinking
about.
·
Know the local traffic laws before driving in a
foreign country—or better yet, use taxi drivers for transportation
·
Make sure you use marked taxis and use the seat
belts.
·
Don’t ride motorcycles or scooters. If you must ride one, wear a helmet.
·
Don’t drink and drive.
·
Avoid overcrowded or top-heavy buses or vans.
·
Be alert when crossing the street, especially if
people drive on the left side of the road.
