Friendly Driving Reminders:
Buckle your seat belt and use all safety equipment properly.
Make sure you to keep your fuel tank at least 1/4 full.
Drive alert and without impairment - If you’ve been partying or are sleepy, stay where you are. If you are hosting a party, make it a sleepover for those who have driven.
Even if you are late, there is no hurry. Far better to make it alive than not make it at all.
Slow down at night, when visibility is impaired, and when road conditions are not dry and clear. This is also the season of flash frozen roads and dashing deer.
Be aware of the area all around you. Even if you are driving perfectly, vehicles and other hazards are unpredictable. That’s why they are called accidents.
In addition, make sure you have a shovel and emergency survival equipment and supplies in your vehicle. Make sure your phone is charged. Make sure someone knows the route you are traveling and knows you arrived safely.
