Drive Safer Starting Today

It's difficult to abide by every rule all the time, we understand. There are notorious red and blue flashing lights that will quickly remind you of when you are breaking a driving violation. Several reasons can lead to being pulled over and ticketed, but we've found that looking at the reasoning behind these mistakes makes for a helpful reminder of the importance of safe driving.

 1. Speeding  
After all, the faster you are driving, the longer it takes to react to an unexpected situation.

2. Illegal cell phone use 
One 'quick' text or call causes huge distractions for any driver.

3. Following too closely and improper lane changes
Following your neighbor too closely shortens a driver's reaction time.

4. Hazardous driving
If you're too busy focusing on other things (touching up your make up, finishing breakfast or cleaning a stain from your spilled coffee) it's easy to violate stop signs and lights, take part in improper lane changes, make illegal U-turns, or fail to yield 

5. Equipment violations 
 The tickets can easily pile up for heavily tinted windows, burned-out headlights, broken windshields, expired tags, lack of a front license plate and loud exhaust modifications
