Safe Summer Season: #100-for-100

"The Safe Summer Season campaign is important because it reminds us of the great responsibility we carry as drivers. Small actions—like using turn signals, avoiding distractions from our phones, and never drinking before driving—make a big difference.

“This campaign is important to me because as a teenager, especially as one who has recently received their license, the rules of driving safety grow more and more crucial to me as I spend more time behind the wheel. Being a new driver, I'm still learning the proper reactions and how to deal with specific driving situations.
