Are you a new driver? Exciting time, right? Here’s a tip…. We know it’s cool to go ride around with friends but while you are still learning, but this can create unsafe distractions at least until you get more confident and remember to ask your passengers to buckle up when you do have friends along for a ride.
Who’s joining us at the Kansas Teen Transportation Safety Conference in Wichita this year?
Buckle up and drive SAFE!

Drivers, remember we're now in peak #deer activity season and you may find them near or in the road, especially around dawn and dusk. Scan the roadside and be prepared to brake. But don't veer for deer! Swerving into oncoming traffic or the ditch can be even more dangerous.

Saturday, Oct. 17 is National Move Over Day, but drivers should #SlowDownMoveOver for all vehicles on the roadside with flashing lights or warning signals EVERY DAY. It's the law, and it keeps stranded motorists and roadside workers safe.

Did you hear that click before driving off? Remember to buckle up every trip every time, even the short ones.
Feeling sleepy? With fewer daylight hours, more of us are driving at night. Make sure you get plenty of rest. If you are feeling tired pull over in a safe location to nap or get out and walk around to stretch your legs.
This time of year, deer begin moving more often. Be alert for deer crossing the road. They often travel in groups. If you see one do not swerve to miss it just slow down and stay in your lane.
Crosswalks thousands of pedestrians each year are injured or worse, always be alert and yield right of way to pedestrians in crosswalks. Remember we all share the road.

In rainy conditions, slow down, buckle up those seatbelts, and never drive into water overflowing the road. #TurnAroundDontDrown #kswx

Myth: The posted speed limit is always safe to drive if you are an experienced driver.
Fact: Speed limits are meant for ideal conditions; rain, snow, and ice require driving below the posted speed limit.

Safety starts at home. Take time and talk to your kids about how to safely walk and bike to school. Use our ‘Traffic Tuesday Safety Tips’ as a starting point to teach kids how to be safe. Education over enforcement, attention over inattention and safety will improve.
If you have young passengers in your vehicle, make sure they are SAFE. Everyone should be buckled up, put your phone away, and never leave a little one alone in a car.

Myth: Blasting cold air or turning up loud music keeps you awake enough to drive.
Fact: No matter whether you’re driving at night or during the day, only actual sleep restores focus and alertness—temporary tricks do not fix delayed reflexes.
In Kansas, harvest is extremely important and happens multiple times throughout the year. When driving behind tractors or other farm equipment, slow down and give them space. Remember, they are working to feed you.
