Relax out there. Put down the phone. Focus on the road. Enjoy the drive. If someone is tailgating-- they need to relax too, but don't engage the rage! The smartest and safest thing to do is move over and let them pass.

Drive safely! Life is fra-gee-lay is a reference to the film, A Christmas Story. Come to think of it, it's actually a film about safety. Highway safety (changing a flat tire); electrical safety (don't overload outlets); and firearms safety (don't shoot your eye out). Enjoy!

Tailgating is an unsafe driving behavior and so is impeding the flow of traffic. If you encounter someone moving at a higher speed than you, the safe approach is to move right and allow them to pass. Drive right and pass left.

If you slide off the road or your vehicle breaks down, it’s generally safest to stay buckled up inside your vehicle until help arrives. Getting out of your vehicle and walking around a highway is always dangerous, but especially when roads are slippery.

Chill! Never escalate and don't react to another driver's rage. If you encounter an aggressive driver, move over to the slow lane, slow down, and separate yourself from them. Be a courteous driver, leave space and let people merge. It's too cold for hot headed drivers.

Drowsy driving kills. Sleep deprivation is a major cause of vehicle crashes. It can impair the human brain the same way as inebriation. Don't drive yourself to sleep. Get enough rest the night before a trip and take frequent breaks. For more information:

Deer will be on the roads this fall. Here’s what to do if you hit one:
-Get your vehicle safely off the road if possible and call law enforcement.
-It’s safest to stay buckled-up in your car. Walking on a highway is always dangerous.
-Don’t attempt to move an injured deer.
