I’ve learned that tragedy doesn’t just happen to other people.

So when I drive, I try to:
📵 Put the phone away
🚶‍♀️ Slow down where people walk and kids play
🚴‍♂️ Look twice for pedestrians & cyclists
➡️ Signal, stop, yield, & be patient

Little choices behind the wheel can make the biggest difference.

Every day, is an opportunity to make smart, safe choices behind the wheel! #slowdown #roadsafety

It's official. San Diego has the most obstructed bike lanes in the country. With only 8 streets in the urban core with bike lanes, the city should be able to quickly solve this problem with just a few miles of concrete barriers.

It’s the weekend, the perfect time to recharge, relax, & enjoy your time safely.

Whether you’re headed to brunch, the beach, or just running errands, make sure the way you drive matches the spirit of the day: calm, focused, and safe.

Crashes aren’t caused by “bad” drivers, they are caused by bad decisions, including:

- Checking a text.
- Speeding up to beat a red light.
- Rolling through a stop sign.
- Not seeing the cyclist in the bike lane.
- Changing lanes before checking blind spots.

I continue to advocate for states to implement automatic cell phone & seatbelt use detection systems.

These are in New South Wales Australia. They have been tested by @iihs-hldi.bsky.social and found as good as a human observer.

One huge plus over people, the work 24-7!

I know what’s at stake when someone runs a red light.

My husband was killed by a red-light runner when we were 9 months pregnant with our daughter. In an instant, the life we had was shattered.

It’s time to end red-light running. Here’s how: ncsrsafety.org/stop-on-red-...

#StopOnRed #roadsafety

Life-saving choices behind the wheel:
🔴 Stop on red
📵 Stay distraction-free
🚦 Slow down, buckle up
🚗 Don’t tailgate
😮‍💨 Avoid road rage
👀 Watch for pedestrians, bicyclists, & children in school zones

Drive like your life & the lives of others depends on it, cuz it does.
