The worst way to end your week of non-stop partying would be with a car accident, so try to ensure that you and your friends don't end up as a statistic.

✓ Plan to have a designated driver for every night out on the road. Better yet, if the party is within walking distance from where you are staying (if you nuh have nuh weh yet, yuh salt), try walking.

✓ Make sure you get plenty of sleep between parties. Alcohol may not be the reason you doze off at the wheel.

✓ If you have the moola, use the shuttle services offered.

✓ Carpooling cuts down on the number of cars in your group. Plus, even though gas is a little cheaper these days, this can help you to save.

✓ Don't do anything stupid while driving, like sticking body parts out the window a la election motorcade style.

✓ Remember to be extra careful up and down Spur Tree Hill (it's best to descend in second gear) and look out for stray cows along sections of Colluden, just outside of Whitehouse, Westmoreland, as well as in Luana, St Elizabeth. Flair has also learnt that stray cows are now making their way across sections of Highway 2000. Watch out for the cops who are all over the roads too.

And ...

... absolutely no racing. Save that for Dover or Vernam Field.
