AAA Alabama recommends “pad travel time, save gas”

Over the Memorial Day holiday weekend AAA Alabama encourages drivers to pad your travel time so you are not rushed when the roads become congested.

“Take the stress out of driving and that will, take the risk out of it to some degree. You’ll actually save some money on gas as well by being a more conservative driver.”
Clay Ingram, AAA Alabama
