SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Stay Alert - Actively pay attention to your actions and those of the drivers around you when you are driving.

• Obey Speed Limits - When driving, it's important to stick to the posted speed limit at all times. The restrictions placed on vehicle speed are not established arbitrarily. Rather, they are carefully selected to maximize safety for drivers and for , businesses, and other organizations in the areas where roadways are located.
• Avoid Distractions - Sending text messages isn't the only dangerous distraction that drivers need to avoid while operating a vehicle. Changing CDs, using cell phones, eating, and interacting with passengers are just a few examples of the types of distractions that you should take care to avoid when driving.
