Summer Driving Safety Tips

  • Do not drive if you are tired.
  • Keep your tank full of gas.
  • If it just rained, the road can be slick from road oils and water.
  • Wear sunglasses help cut out glare.
  • Watch for construction zones, as roadwork increases in the summer months.
  • Never text and drive, and always wear your seatbelt.
  • Bicycles and motorcycles are sharing the roadways.  All drivers must be carefully educated to watch for, and avoid, bicyclists and motorcyclists.
  • Make sure your brakes are working correctly.
  • It is important to use your headlights in the daytime, not so much, so that you can see, but so that other cars can see you.
  • Check your tires, and make sure they are fully inflated.

Remember weather conditions can change quickly, so plan extra time to get where you are going.  Don’t ever assume your time on the road will be uneventful. You could be stuck in traffic for extended periods, so it is always a good idea to travel with water and some energy bars.
