Safety tip by Donald Knowlton

Don’t be complacent just because the weather is nice! Just remember Labor Day is coming up!

Always buckle up.

Whether you’re behind the wheel or a passenger, always wear your seat belt while riding in a vehicle. Seat belts can help save your life or reduce the severity of sustained injuries if you’re involved in a car crash. In 2017, seat belts helped to save close to 15,000 lives.

If you see a drunk driver on the road, call 911. If you suspect someone is driving drunk (e.g., driving erratically, driving too fast or too slowly), notify the authorities by calling 911. You’ll want to give them the name of the road or major intersection that the impaired driver is traveling on, as well as the direction in which they’re driving. Another dangerous driving error is wrong way where a driver is driving in the wrong direction. This usually happens on highways, where a driver gets on an off-ramp. The NTSB reports that impaired driving is the number one cause of wrong-way driving. If you see wrong-way driving, drive on the most right-hand side of the road, stop at a safe place (e.g., a gas station), and then call 911.
