IT'S THE 4TH OF JULY!
4th of July
What does that mean? Outside of barbecues, family and friends gathering, fireworks, sunburn, and celebrating this great country of ours, it also means planning for safety. 

Did you know that over the past 25 years, almost 51% of fatal crashes are alcohol related on the 4th of July, according to NHTSA?
1. We Save Lives Recommends
Stay as close to home as possible or better yet, celebrate at home. There are too many crazy drivers on the road.  Do not speed and save that beer for when you get home.

2. Be a Good Host
If it is your party, offer non-alcoholic beverages such as juice, soft drinks and alcohol free mocktails. If you serve alcohol for people who are driving, make arrangements for them to get home safely.

3. Have the Courage to Intervene
If an intoxicated guest insists on driving, tell them you  will immediately notify the police. Always d esignate a driver who remains alcohol free.

4. Automobile, Motorcycle and Pedestrian Tips
Focus on your driving because others won't be focused on theirs. Always wear your seatbelt and if you are cycling, your helmet and protective clothing. Pedestrians should always stick to the crosswalks, follow traffic signals, wear light colored clothing and always hold young children's hands.
