Buckle up, phone down

It's the law. 

Drivers can face criminal charges for crashes resulting in property damage, injury, or death if drivers are not wearing their seatbelt or using their phone. 

With two simple actions, you can be a driver that saves lives.

1. When riding in any vehicle, ALWAYS buckle up.
2. If driving, put down the phone, even turn it off if that helps.

Aggressive driving and speeding

Aggressive driving can take many forms like tailgating, weaving and speeding. The consequences of aggressive driving and speeding can be serious. 

When driving remember:

1. Don’t rush and give yourself time to get where you’re going.
2. Give other drivers a break, they may be lost.
3. Change lanes safely and follow posted speed limits.
