the safest major cities in the country

Street Vending
Holiday Vehicle and Driving News
Almost every law enforcement
agency reports an increase of
vehicular related accidents and
deaths during the holiday sea-
son Most of this can be at-
tributed to increased shopping
traffic darker light conditions
earlier in the evenings and yes
of course alcohol consumption
An increase in attention when
driving and common sense can
in most cases avert some of the
risk
Holiday shopping can add an
element of distraction and thus a
higher potential for property
crime Drivers and shoppers are
urged to pay attention to their
surroundings so this season can
be a safe and enjoyable one
