KENTUCKY...
AAA expects 34.4 million people to travel at least 50 miles from home
between Sept. 2 and today. That's up nearly 10 percent from 2009.

In case it is of interest, here are some last minute Esurance Labor Day
driving tips for your listeners ...


* Drive slower and keep a greater distance from the car in front of you. Wet
surfaces require 2 to 10 times more stopping distance than dry ones.

* Swap the heels or flip-flops for loafers or sneakers and don't forget to
adjust your seat accordingly.

* Always keep a pair of strong shades handy. The sun can be blinding.

* If someone cuts you off and you begin to lose your cool, remember: It's
not personal. Really. It will be more dangerous for other drivers if you
then decide to weave or speed for revenge.

* Don't drink and drive. On average, one person dies every 33 minutes due to
an intoxicated driver.

* Your awake and ready to go, is your car? Check the air levels in your
tires, get a full tank of gas and even if you think you know where you're
going, a map doesn't hurt ;)

* Stuck in traffic? Cure your boredom with good tunes and entertaining
podcasts -- not your cell phone. Drivers on cell phones are 4 times more
likely to be involved in a serious accident.
