TZD Tuesday - Happy New Year!
Many people start the new year with resolutions like eating healthier, losing weight or crushing bad habits, but one area all Minnesotans could try to improve is our driving. What if we all made New Year's resolutions to drive safer this year? It could save a life!
- For New Year’s resolution #1, resolve to:
- Put your phone down and reduce other distractions while driving such as eating messy foods or adjusting mirrors, music and other controls.
- Watch your speed to give yourself more time to safely react to traffic, potential hazards or changing road conditions.
- Always buckle up! It’s your best defense in case of a crash.
- New Year’s resolution #2:
- Sign up to receive winter driving condition updates via email or text. You will receive a short message regarding the warning, along with links to the National Weather Service and 511. Visit the link above and click on "winter driving alerts." In the pull-down menu, choose whether you want to receive the message via email or text. It’s another tool to help you make smart driving decisions and stay safe on the roads we all share.
Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and safe new year filled with laughter, joy and success!
