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
