The holiday season often means crowded shopping malls, holiday parties and increased traffic on Michigan roadways. People are busy buying those last-minute gifts and visiting family and friends. This time of year can be exciting, but it is also a time of year when drivers must pay extra attention to their surroundings. Car accidents can turn a season of celebration into a serious problem.

It is difficult for the drivers to see out of them (or, at least, more difficult than a common car); they are larger and more powerful; and when they are involved in an accident, usually the other vehicles involved in the crash suffer the brunt of the impact.
