"SAFETY FIRST" - a GOOD idea whether we're driving our vehicles, working at home or in our place of employment. Just by following a few well-known pointers, the difference between a safe trip and a serioius injury or death, are but a "heartbeat" away. Use your seat belt (and be sure all passengers do so also); refrain from using your cel phone (and texting is a well-known no-no while driving). If you MUST talk on your cel, pull over to the shoulder, get out of the traffic lane, to give your caller your full attention. Child restraint seats need to be properly installed and maintained to insure the well-being of our most precious passengers - our little ones. Drive with your lights on, conscientiously observe the posted speed limit, and be willing to drive SLOWER than the limit in impaired weather conditions. Remember, a few extra minutes might mean the difference between and life and death situation - your own and that of others.
