SAFE DRIVING FROM FOURTH OF JULY FESTIVITIES

Did you know that the Fourth of July is one of the top deadliest holidays for driving?

Here are a few tips:

• Stay where you are - if possible don't drive at all.  
• Don't ride your motorcycle - with so many more vehicles on the road this would be a good day to leave your motorcycle at home.
• Drive home early - the later your leave for home, the likelier you will encounter impaired drivers.
• Always wear your seat belt - not only is that a no-brainer but it is also the law.
• Never test or use your cell phone while driving - again it is the law.
• Maintain safe following distances - stay several car lengths behind the vehicle in front of you this will give you a much better chance of seeing erratic driving and avoiding its consequences.
• Be extra careful when approaching intersections - don't assume they're going to stop.  Most impaired drivers don't obey traffic signals and signs.
• Be the designated driver - be the hero and make sure everyone gets home safe.  Remember even a couple of beers can impair your driving ability.
• Don't drive and drive - if you don't have a designated driver, call Uber or Lyft.

Happy and Safe 4th of July to all!!!
