California Highway Patrol Officer Josh Greengard shares all his tips for how to hit the roads safely this summer. Learn how to keep your teens safe, find out some surprising statistics, and even find out what you can do in case an emergency strikes.

Around 159 million people hit the road every year for trips during the summer and with a higher volume of drivers on the freeways, there is a higher chance of emergencies, collisions, and other issues.

Staying prepared and being mindful of your driving can help ensure that you have a safe, fun road trip. Eliminating as many distractions as you can, such as cell phone usage while behind the wheel, can also help you safely navigate the roads.
