ATLANTA — More than 1.1 million Georgians are forecast to take a road trip for Memorial Day. Unfortunately, thousands of them will experience car trouble. Nationwide, AAA expects to rescue more than 483,000 stranded motorists during the holiday weekend. The three most common reasons are flat tires, dead batteries and lockouts.
A recent AAA survey found that 61% of Georgians plan to get a professional vehicle inspection before their summer road trips. Of these drivers, 19% will conduct their own inspection. However, 14% of Georgians say they have no plans to get a vehicle inspection before hitting the road this summer.
