When families feel comfortable venturing out on one of an expected 683 million summer road trips, AAA Washington has the resources to help travelers arrive safely and enjoy their destinations.

This summer, AAA forecasts Americans will take 700 million trips based on economic indicators and state re-openings.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety’s latest research finds drivers who have been in at least one crash in the past two years are significantly more likely to engage in risky behaviors like speeding or texting, even when they think the police may catch them. After three months of staying at home, AAA urges drivers to keep everyone safe on the roads and warns motorists against falling back into dangerous driving habits.

One thing that COVID-19 won’t change this summers is teens will be behind the wheel more and combined with their driving inexperience always leads to an increase in teen driver crashes. AAA suggests parents can help reduce risks by modeling safe driving behaviors and ensuring their teens practice them while behind the wheel.

In honor of her quick response and heroic action, AAA Washington is presenting a AAA Lifesaver Award to Morgan deLeur of Garfield Elementary in Everett.
