The Michigan State Police are urging Michiganders to be patient and cautious when heading out on the road. As millions will be traveling and eager to spend time with family and friends, being patient will allow you enough time to arrive safely at your holiday destination. In addition, wearing your seatbelt drops the risk of fatal injury by 45 percent. Michigan State Police will have focused patrols on the roadways looking for drivers who are impaired, aggressive, or distracted. During this time of year with more people on the roadways, it means the potential for more vehicle crashes. So be safe and buckle up!
