Are you planning on hitting the road this weekend for the 4th of July holiday? Many will be leaving New Haven and traveling through our city for other locales. A few minutes to review some prevention and planning measures may keep your family safe and avoid a New Haven auto accident. Seven million Americans will face a breakdown this summer.

1. Make sure everyone in the car is wearing their safety belt. Car seats or booster seats should be properly installed and used.
2. Vehicle Checklist
   • Tires

3. Make sure your car is stocked with a spare tire, jack, water, flares, jumper cables, first aid kit, windshield washer fluid, and blankets.
