Bicyclists sometimes need to make quick adjustments to avoid road hazards or stay safe. That’s why it’s important to give them extra space, more than you would a car. Next time you share the road with a bicyclist, give them room to ride safely. It could save a life.

When you drive under the influence, think about your loved ones, your career, and your license. When you drive impaired, you put everything on the line. #DriveSoberOrGetPulledOver

Drive like your grandparents live here, because someone's grandparents do. Let's share the road and allow older pedestrians to cross safely. #WatchForPedestrians #WordsToLiveBy

With increased weekend traffic, drive with extra caution. With more people hitting the road for late-summer plans, remember to stay alert, patient, and safe behind the wheel. 🚗🌤️ #DriveSafe #WeekendTraffic

Driving is a behavior that requires your full attention. Bicyclists can move quickly and be harder to spot in rear and side view mirrors. But with a little more awareness and consideration, cyclist-vehicle crashes can be avoided, ensuring everyone gets home safe.

Cannabis impairs reaction time and judgement, increasing the risk of a crash. There is a place for being high, and its NOT behind the wheel of a vehicle. Always remember that #DrivingHighEqualsDUI

No text, call, or glance is worth a crash. Distracted driving isn’t worth the risk, stay focused, stay safe. #DistractedDriving

If you find yourself stopped in an emergency situation on a highway, the best course of action is the simplest one. Stay in your car, call 9-1-1, and wait for help to arrive. 🚙 #StayInYourCar

Wrong-way crashes cause a high number of fatalities every year. This dangerous behavior puts everyone on the road at risk. Always obey road signs, stay alert, and if you see a vehicle driving the wrong way, call 9-1-1 immediately. #WrongWayDriving
