DEARBORN, Mich., May 15 /PRNewswire/ — An estimated 1.3 million Michiganians will travel during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, launching the start of the 2008 summer travel season, says AAA Michigan.

ATLANTA and ST. LOUIS, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ — This holiday season, Road Safe America and GMAC Insurance urge people to help Save Five Lives on Drive Safer Sunday, a national observance falling on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, one of the busiest travel days of the year. As millions of drivers make their way home or back to school from holiday gatherings, both organizations encourage drivers to send a caring reminder to friends and loved ones to take extra precautions during this hectic time: Buckle up, slow down and stay alert.
Drive Safer Sunday was created in honor of Cullum Owings, a 22-year-old college student who tragically lost his life when a speeding tractor-trailer hit the back of his stopped car. On the Sunday after Thanksgiving in 2002, Cullum and his brother Pierce were returning to Washington and Lee University after a visit home for the holidays. A few miles from campus, the boys were struck from behind by a tractor-trailer speeding on cruise control. Pierce survived; Cullum died before rescuers could free him from the wreckage. continue reading...
