ATV users can help reduce the risk of wildfires when travelling on forest lands. Please use a proper screening or baffling device to prevent sparks from escaping & carry a fire extinguisher with a minimum of 225 grams of ABC-class dry chemical. #FireSmart #IAmFireSmart #GovNL

Cycling is a great form of exercise. To those that do, well done! If you're driving, please keep an eye out for people on their bikes & always leave at least 1m of space between yourself and the person cycling. #StaySafe #ShareTheRoad #1mRule

Tow truck operators report near misses every day. Working on the roadside places them in a risky situation with every shift. To help keep them safe on the job, please SLOW DOWN and MOVE OVER if safe to do so. This allows them the space to work safely. #safetyfortowtrucks #safety

Make buckling up a habit before you start your vehicle. #SeatBeltsSaveLives. Seatbelts are your last line of protection in a collision. Wear yours to help save your life and reduce injuries.

The snow has started on the S. Avalon and south coast. Environment Canada's Winter Storm Warnings say to expect 15-30cm for the northeast Avalon, 15-25 cm Clarenville/Bonavista, and 15-20 cm for Burin Peninsula. They tell me snow will be wetter and heavier tomorrow. #nlwx

Daylight savings starts March 12th. Don’t forget to pick-up batteries for your smoke & carbon monoxide alarms over the next couple days so you can change the batteries this weekend. Remember, working smoke & carbon monoxide alarms save lives!

Think it can't happen to you? Think again. Helmets on all off-road vehicles are mandatory for a reason - they help prevent serious injury and death. #nltraffic #GovNL

With shorter days upon us, and the possibility of wintery road conditions, motorists are reminded to be extra cautious in school zones. Also, be mindful of children waiting at bus stops or exiting the bus. #nltraffic #nlwx #GovNL

If you don’t see the importance of clearing snow and ice from your vehicle, take a look at this… A chunk of ice from an eastbound vehicle on the TCH struck this westbound vehicle today. The driver luckily received only minor injuries. #ClearTheSnowBeforeYouGo
