Know the Dangers of Speeding
No matter how advanced your driving skills are, speeding is dangerous. Speeding:
🏎 Reduces your ability to steer safely around another vehicle, a hazardous object or an unexpected curve;
🏎 Extends the time it takes your vehicle to stop; and
🏎 Increases the risk of a crash because other vehicles and pedestrians may not be able to judge your distance correctly; and
🏎 Can increase the severity of injuries if you’re involved in a crash.

Make sure your child is in the right seat. Help keep our children safe.

Is your child in the right seat for their age, height and weight? A safe ride starts with the right seat!

This week, go see a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician near you. Whether it’s a rear-facing or forward-facing car seat, a booster seat, or a seat belt, a certified technician can put parents’ minds at ease by confirming which seat is correct for their children and showing them how to correctly install that seat in their vehicle.
