Everyone is reminded to “Fasten Your Seat Belts, be courteous to drivers and pedestrians and together we can reduce traffic related fatalities, injuries and property damage.”

Note: Traffic Safety Tip of the Week: PATIENCE – This one word, if put into practice, can prevent a traffic crash. A driver who gets in a rush or lacks patience becomes what is known as the “aggressive driver”. The patient motorist allows extra time to reach their destination, uses their turn signals, doesn’t tailgate, speed or run red lights – an excellent example of safe driving.
