Labor Day Road Safety Tips | Las Vegas News

Labor Day weekend is packed with road trips—but don’t let the fun fool you: over 400,000 drivers needed roadside help last year. The Red Cross says prep is key—check tires, battery, oil, and keep your gas tank full, especially in remote areas. Pack an emergency kit with water, snacks, jumper cables, a first-aid kit, flashlight, blanket, tools, and a charger. With nearly 500 deaths and 50,000 injuries expected this holiday, crashes are up 9% on average compared to other weekends—and in 2024, a third of fatal crashes involved drunk driving. Buckle up, put the phone down, get rest, take breaks, and give emergency vehicles space. Safety isn’t optional—it’s essential.
