If you've got four wheels, don't be blind to those with two. Be aware of your blind spots when merging or changing lanes and always check before opening your car door. #BicycleSafety #MotorcycleSafety

Happy National Drive-Thru Day! Resist the temptation to eat while driving. Wait until you've arrived at your destination or park in a safe location before digging in. #NationalDriveThruDay #EyesOnTheRoad

Cannabis may be legal to use recreationally for adults 21 and over in NJ, but it is illegal for everybody everywhere to drive high. #DriveHighGetADUI

Rear-end crashes are the most common type of crash in New Jersey. With July firmly in the rear view, remember to slow down, don’t be distracted, and keep a safe following distance. Don't end the month rear-ending someone else. #SpeedingSlowsYouDown #JustDrive

Compared to other states, NJ had the lowest fatality rate involving teen drivers in 2022. We’re proud of this ranking but one life lost is too many. We all must continue supporting new drivers in being safe and responsible on the road. Read the report: ow.ly/3Yne50WyCNQ

If you are celebrating #InternationalBeerDay, remember that even small amounts of alcohol can impair your ability to drive. Alcohol leaves your system slowly, and even “just a few” can be too many to drive safely. Plan ahead. Get home safe. #DriveSoberOrGetPulledOver

New data shows that from 2022 to 2023, fatalities for teen drivers increased by 4.2%, the only age group to increase despite a 4.3% decrease in overall fatalities in the U.S. New drivers need extra focus: Slow down, buckle up, avoid distractions. #100SafeDaysOfSummer

Our reminder to drivers to give 4 feet of space or slow down to 25 mph when passing people biking. August is a great time for bike riding but historically has been one of the highest months for bicycle crashes in NJ. #SharetheRoad #NJSafeRoads

Prevent vehicle-related heatstroke in children. TIP: Keep a stuffed animal in the car seat when it's empty. When your child is in the seat, move the toy to the front passenger seat as a visual reminder to check the back seat. #StopLookLock

Speaking up is an important life skill. Empower teens to speak up if they feel unsafe in the passenger seat with a driver who's driving recklessly or distracted. #100SafeDaysOfSummer #SpeakUp

When walking, it’s best to cross the street at predictable locations, like at corners and crosswalks. Make sure the driver sees you and is preparing to stop before crossing. #PedestrianSafety

This Senior Citizens Day is your reminder to be patient. Allow those who may take longer to cross at a crosswalk the same courtesy you'd expect someone to show your loved ones. #SeniorCitizensDay #PedSafety

It's a FACT that cannabis distorts your perception, coordination, and slows your reaction time. All are necessary for safe driving. #DriveHighGetADUI
