Attention parents! 🚨 The summer months are known as the 100 Deadliest Days for teen drivers, when crash risks increase. Before your teen grabs the keys, have the conversation: ☑️ Buckle up every trip ☑️ No phones behind the wheel ☑️ Slow down ☑️ Never drive impaired

Every ride is a chance to practice awareness. 🚲 A quick scan, a helmet check, and riding defensively helps build confidence on the road. Whether you are driving, walking or bicycling, remember to scan the street for wheels and feet.

Last week we kicked off the Community Voices Series campaign in Leominster, focused on speeding. The community came up with a very creative message that is uniquely Leominster: “Hey Neighbor, Slow Down. It’s not Johnny AppleSPEED.” Keep an eye out for the campaign!🍎

Hot cars kill.🚗☀️ Temps across Massachusetts are soaring today and into the weekend. Never leave children, pets, or vulnerable adults in a parked vehicle. Even 10 minutes can be deadly. If you see a child alone in a hot car, call 911 immediately. #LookBeforeYouLock

Get mad when you peek at the driver next to you and see them on their phone? So do we.😤 Be better, don't be that guy. Put your phone on your 'Do Not Disturb', and enjoy the drive! #massDoNotDisturb #HandsFreeLaw

During the month of May, there were 7 lives lost in motorcycle crashes. Drivers: please take an extra second to #LookTwice for motorcyclists before turning. That second could save a life.🏍️

How much space does a truck need to stop at 65 MPH? 🏈 Up to two football fields to come to a complete stop. Give trucks plenty of space, avoid abruptly cutting in front of them, and remember: extra distance can save lives.

Wind Advisory is in effect across most of #MA today, which may result in power outages. Drivers, when you see a 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥 on the road from a power outage, treat it as an 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐏!🛑

It’s too hot to leave anyone in the car. Not a child. Not a senior. Not a pet. Not for “just a minute.”
