It’s important to know your route and what exits you need to take and switch drivers if you need to. With so many people on the road, it’s important to watch for other distracted drivers. Just because you’re locked in doesn’t mean the driver near you is. Leave room and always be aware of a way out of a dangerous situation as you hit the road.Chris Will has joined the News4JAX team as a weekend morning reporter, after graduating from the University of Florida in spring 2024.
