Heavy rain is on the way! 🌧️ Remember—never drive through flooded roads. Just a few inches of water can sweep your vehicle away. Stay safe: Turn Around, Don’t Drown! #DriveSmartKY #FloodSafety

Imagine driving the length of a football field blindfolded. That’s what happens when you take your eyes off the road for just 5 seconds to send or read a text at 55 mph. April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month—stay focused, stay safe. #JustDrive #EyesOnTheRoad

The only place roses should be this Derby weekend is in the winner’s circle — not on the side of the road. If you’re drinking, don’t drive. Plan ahead, get a safe ride, and let’s all cross the finish line safely. 🌹🏇 #DontDrinkAndDrive #KentuckyDerby #DriveSoberKY

Motorcycles and bikes: stay out of blind spots. If you’re riding next to a car and can’t see the driver’s face or mirrors—you’re in danger. Be seen. Minimize the risk. #RideSmart #BlindSpotSafety #MotorcycleAwareness

Don’t try to outrun a tornado if you’re trapped in your vehicle. If possible, seek shelter in a sturdy building. If none is nearby, park safely, keep your seatbelt on, and lower your head below window level, covering with a blanket or jacket if available. Stay alert, stay safe.

Never leave a child unattended in a vehicle—even for a minute. A child’s core temperature rises 3–5 times faster than an adult’s, and heatstroke occurs when the body reaches 104°F. Leaving a child in a vehicle puts them at serious risk.
