To keep away from crashes, FHP affords the next ideas for street security:

• Don’t drive impaired. In case you are planning to have alcoholic drinks, plan to have a delegated driver or journey share service get you dwelling safely. By no means drive drug impaired.

• When you see an impaired or aggressive driver, name *FHP (*347) or 911.

• Obey pace limits and apply courtesy on the freeway.

• Buckle up. Your seat belt is your automobile’s finest security characteristic.

• ATVs and off-road automobiles are to be pushed on unpaved roadways — by no means on the freeway.

• Don’t drive distracted. Maintain your eyes on the street, palms on the wheel and thoughts on driving.

• Get loads of relaxation earlier than you get behind the wheel. Drowsy driving may be simply as harmful as impaired driving.
