⚠️ Have you checked your tire tread lately? Worn tires are more likely to hydroplane, creating a dangerous situation for you and others on the road. Check your tire tread and replace worn tires to keep driving safely! #TireSafety

Florida Law requires that any individual under the age of 21 must wear a helmet ⛑️ when riding a motorcycle. A bicycle rider or passenger who is under 16 years of age must wear a bicycle helmet that is properly fitted and is fastened securely upon the passenger’s head. Regardless of your age, take precaution and always wear head protection when operating a motorcycle or bicycle! 🏍️🚲

The National Safety Council estimates that drivers under the age of 25 are involved in at least 50% of drowsy driving crashes. Teens are especially susceptible to drowsy driving, as they need more sleep than adults in adolescence, and they often stay up late and wake up early for school. 😴

Not wearing a seat belt makes you 30x more likely to be ejected from a vehicle during a crash. More than 3 out of 4 people who are ejected during crash die from their injuries.

“Akmust there. Wkat are yu dpin tonight?”

Composing text messages while driving often don’t even communicate your true intention... If you harmed yourself or someone else, would you look back and think your message was worth it? The fact is – no text, call, or social media trend is worth a life. Put the phone away, and just drive!
