The final few days of holiday shopping are in full swing, and whether you're hitting the stores or heading off to celebrate the season, Sarasota County traffic is tough to navigate this time of year. As of the end of November, traffic crashes and fatalities are up in 2011. While enforcement efforts are also in high gear, we'd rather you stay safe than need us to respond to an accident. So please bring your patience with you, remember the basic rules of the road and practice defensive driving. Of course, don't drink and drive. As a final reminder, Florida's "Move Over" law requires drivers to move at least one lane away from ANY emergency vehicle with flashing lights. And if you can't get out of their way slow down to 20 miles per hour below the posted speed limit.
