Guess what time it is! It’s that time of year when I get to send you tips all about fire prevention.
Before you get roped in about fire prevention, paws for a moment and take a look at these fall safety tips first –
Vehicle and pedestrian safety reminders are my favorite cuz they’re about you so make sure you read these –
Slow down when you see pedestrians or bicycles.
Always wear your seatbelt. I do! hehe
Headlights make us more visible day and night.
School buses make frequent stops. Make sure you stop for them when their lights flash yellow or red.
Use crosswalks whenever possible to cross any street.
If there isn’t a crosswalk, cross at a corner.
Never cross a street between cars. Oof!
Make sure your children cross the street with an adult and hold hands.
If you have to run to beat a car, that means it isn’t a safe crossing. Wait for the car to pass and walk safely so you don’t trip or fall or worse!
Wear bright clothing when you will be a pedestrian so drivers can see you better.
Always use your turn signals when changing lanes or turning. Always!
If your vehicle gets a flat or your car stalls, put your flashers on immediately and when possible, try your best to move to the right and get as far off the road as possible.
If you see any vehicle on the side of the road, move over and slow down.
If you see an emergency vehicle with their lights on, slow down and move over. It is the law and it will keep you safe too.
