Driving instead of flying this weekend?

North Dakota and Minnesota officials urge you to drive safely: The Thanksgiving travel period is one of the deadliest holidays of the year.

The weather should be good for driving, but that sometimes means people traveling at faster speeds and letting down their safety guard, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.

Here's a trooper's Thanksgiving recipe for traffic safety:

-- Buckle up before and after you gobble up.

-- Leave time to drive - the posted speed is the speed limit.

-- Pay attention. Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel periods.

-- If you plan on drinking, plan on a safe and sober ride.
