is a very serious problem…
Watch the drunk roaches get busted by the praying mantis! Drive sober or you’ll get squashed.
Save a life: buckle up
Your seat belt is crucial to surviving a crash.
Make it a habit to always buckle up every time.
- In 2015, nearly half of passenger vehicle occupants who died in crashes were unrestrained.
- From 2011 to 2015, seat belts saved nearly 64,000 lives – enough to fill a football stadium.

Did you know that when you send or receive a text you take your eyes off the road for 5 seconds? At 55 mph, that’s like driving the length of an entire football field, blindfolded. As a result, thousands of people die every year in crashes related to distracted driving.
