Driving Tips:
- Before driving any vehicle, take some time to get to know all its controls and features.
- Check your tires for wear. They do more than help your vehicle ride smoothly, they help keep you safe.
- Distractions are anything that takes your mind off the road – not just cell phones.
- Fatigue and daydreaming can both be dangerous driving distractions. Always stay alert behind the wheel.
- You’re in control when you’re driving. Make sure to tell passengers you need to focus on the road.
- Texts and calls may seem urgent, but put safety first and wait until you’re off the road to answer.
