(AAA)-- With more than 30 million motorists venturing out this holiday weekend, AAA is urging all drivers to use extra caution.
As of August 28, 150 men, women and children have lost their lives on Nebraska roadways. Fatalities are up 12 percent compared to the average for the previous four years. So far this year, 20 motorcycle riders have died in crashes, which is equal to the total number of lives lost during 2014. AAA reminds all motorists to buckle-up, refrain from driving if consuming alcohol, and avoid distractions that take your mind off of the roadway ahead.
High speed roadways, with two-way traffic and no medians protecting the vehicles traveling in opposite directions are especially dangerous. Any distraction may easily cause the driver to drift across the centerline. Passengers in the vehicle need to do their part to avoid creating distractions for the driver.
