✈️ Vacation Safety Tip: Post later, stay safer.

Headed out of town soon? Before you pack your bags, take a few steps to help protect your home while you’re away.

This week, we’ll be sharing vacation safety tips to help keep your home safe and secure while you enjoy your time away. Taking simple preventative steps before leaving town can help reduce opportunities for crime and give you added peace of mind while traveling.

Before heading out, consider registering for our Vacation House Check Program, setting light timers to make your home appear occupied, and arranging for a trusted neighbor or friend to collect mail and packages while you are away.

A few simple precautions can go a long way in helping protect your home while you’re out of town.

Your attention belongs on the road not your phone.

Distracted driving only takes a second, but that second can change everything. Whether it’s answering a text, adjusting your GPS, scrolling through music, or reaching for something in the car, taking your eyes off the road puts everyone at risk.

Georgia’s Hands-Free Law makes it illegal to hold or support your phone while driving. Drivers cannot text, read messages, scroll social media, or watch videos behind the wheel. If you need to use your phone, it must be hands-free through Bluetooth, speakerphone, a mounted device, or voice commands. Violations can result in fines and points on your driving record.

Stay focused behind the wheel:
• Put the phone away 📵
• Set your navigation and music before driving
• Use hands-free features if needed
• Keep your attention on the road
• Speak up if someone else is driving distracted

No text, notification, or phone call is worth a crash. Stay alert, stay focused, and help keep our roads safe for everyone.
