More National Safety Month tips from the National Safety Council:
1. Check the recall status of your vehicle and have open recalls fixed immediately. Visit checktoprotect. org
2. Avoid distractions while driving - remember distractions can be visual, manual, or cognitive.
3. When driving, remember to wear your seat belt, obey speed limits, maintain a safe following distance, and keep your eyes on the road.
4. Set up your drive before you head out - make sure your mirrors are clean and positioned properly.
5. Pull over to a safe location and park to look up directions, text, or to make or receive a call when on the road.
6. Never drink alcohol and drive - impairment begins with the first drink.
7. If you are tired while driving, pull over. On long trips, take regular breaks to avoid fatigue.
