An Editorial Opinion of The Selma Times-Journal

School is out for Christmas. That’s right, all of our local schools are out for the holidays right now as the Christmas holiday begins on Wednesday and all of the other holidays that we celebrate this time of year following that.

As many of us will have time off over the coming week, one thing that we know is that many will be traveling this week heading home, or maybe the family is coming to you.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency has released its 12 Days of Safety campaign. Each of these tips we feel are great reminders. Here are a few of them:

• Buckle Up. Every Trip. Every Time.
• Don’t Find Your Holiday Shopping Deals Behind the Wheel.
• Take it Easy on the Eggnog.
• Oh, Deer! Remain Extra Cautious on Rural Roads this Year
• Remain Alert and Bright

• Slow Down for Holiday Cheer
The others appear in the paper, but each of these are great reminders for being safe on the roadways this year. Please do your best to keep it safe when you’re traveling this week.
