The Thanksgiving holiday period is traditionally one of the busiest travel periods of the year.
Indiana State Police wants to remind every motorist to drive responsibly and ensure every passenger is buckled up properly.
Last year during the Thanksgiving holiday period, more than 2,300 crashes occurred on Indiana roadways, which resulted in 450 injuries and 8 fatalities.
This year, troopers will be concentrating their efforts on impaired, aggressive, and distracted drivers.
Troopers are encouraging all motorists to be responsible with a few tips.
They say you should make sure you are well rested before traveling, avoid lingering in the left lane, obey all speed signs, use turn signals, wear your seatbelt, and always follow other vehicles at a safe distance.
