Did you know? More than a fifth of all fatal crashes in Florida come from drivers hitting pedestrians.

Seeing people at crosswalks and intersections will reduce roadway fatalities, so go ahead and make that awkward eye contact – you might just save a life.

Did you know that listening to Elton John can make you a safer driver? Science says so.

What’s your safe driving song? (Ours is definitely Tiny Dancer.)

Just be sure to set that playlist before you hit the road – never drive distracted.

FACT: 94% of crashes are preventable – they aren’t accidents.

Speeding is one of the leading causes of traffic related fatalities in Florida. We must do better. Help us bring traffic fatalities to zero by slowing down and paying attention behind the wheel.
