For most Americans, Thanksgiving means sharing a feast with family and friends. But for many, getting to that gathering also means braving a road trip. Holiday traffic, icy weather, and cranky kids ...can make an already hectic time of year even more stressful, but here are steps to help your car ride go more smoothly.

Prep the car and check the weather
Ensure your car is in good working condition, and check the oil and tire pressure. Pack an emergency kit and supplies – including water, nonperishable food, a flashlight, batteries, cellphone chargers, and a first aid kit. Check the weather and road conditions along your route before you hit the road.

Get a good night's sleep
Getting a good night's rest before a road trip is essential for safety. A drowsy driver could be slower to respond to avoid another car or a pedestrian.

Don't skip breakfast, and pack healthy snacks
Eat a balanced meal before hitting the road that includes a good source of protein and whole grains, and pack healthy snacks like fruits and veggies to keep you energized.

Buckle Up
Always make sure all passengers are buckled up. Remove bulky winter clothing like coats for child car seats, and cover your child with a blanket to stay warm after you've securely strapped them into the car seat.

Avoid digital distractions
Stay alert and avoid distractions like cell phones, dashboard screens and entertainment systems while driving.

Keep kids entertained
Tired, cranky children can distract the driver and stress out the entire family, so keep kids entertained with electronic devices, headphones, or miniature board games and activity books.

Take breaks
Too much time cooped up in the car can take a toll on anyone. Take a break and get out of the car to get some fresh air, stretch your legs, rehydrate, and go to the restroom on lengthy trips.

Fall weather is on its way, and fall driving hazards are too. Rain and wet leaves can decrease traction for your vehicle, indicating a need to increase stopping distance. Fog and sun glare impact ...visibility. Increase your following distance, check mirrors, and slow down. With more deer activity between sunset and sunrise, slow down and ensure you have enough distance from other vehicles to take evasive action if necessary. Watch for children around school buses, streets and sidewalks who can be more challenging to see in the early morning hours with daylight savings time approaching. Slow down and drive safely with each season.
