Holiday traffic on I-95 and I-66 is no joke. Here is how to travel safely, and who to call if your car quits, even on a holiday.
Holiday Roads Are Busy and Unforgiving
Thanksgiving and the December holidays put a crush of traffic on I-95 and I-66, often in bad weather and after dark. A breakdown is more likely and more stressful when you're far from home with a full car. A little prep and the right number saved make all the difference.
Before You Leave
- Get an oil and fluid check, especially before a long drive
- Test the battery and inspect tire tread and pressure (including the spare)
- Plan your route and rest stops, and check traffic before you go
- Pack an emergency kit and phone chargers
- Save a local towing number in your phone for wherever you're traveling
If You Break Down on the Road
Get to the shoulder, hazards on, and everyone to safety away from traffic. Note your direction and nearest exit or mile marker before you call. If you're anywhere in Prince William County or Northern Virginia, we can reach you.
