Be Safe on the Road

Tips and Resources for All Ages

Being safe on our roadways is a responsibility that we all share regardless of how many years or how many miles we have driven. The following resources are shared with the intent of helping us meet that responsibility.

Speeding

Speed continues to be one of the top three causes of crashes. Impairment and destruction are the other two. All of these are the direct result of choices that drivers actively choose. Crashes caused by these choices are preventable.

Drowsy Driving

Driving drowsy or outright fatigued is another leading cause of preventable crashes. We have all done it. We are almost to our destination so we choose not to stop and rest. Unfortunately, these crashes and the related injuries and death are just as horrific as those caused by impairment, distraction and excess speed.
