DYK? In Kansas, you must be at least 16 years old to operate an ATV on public lands. If you’re under 18, you must also wear a DOT-approved helmet while riding. Summer is in full swing. If you ride, remember to ride SAFE.

This sign warns drivers of areas where the road is uneven, dropping off to one side and possibly being a rougher road. When you see this, it’s best to reduce your speed, keep both hands firmly on the steering wheel, and increase your following distance.

The Click it or Ticket Campaign may be over, but that doesn’t mean you should stop wearing your seat belt. Law enforcement can issue tickets for anyone not buckled up any day or night. It’s the easiest thing you can do to be safer in a vehicle. Buckle up. Be SAFE.

Secure your load as if everyone you love is driving in the car behind you.

In a car, truck, tractor, ATV, UTV, van, or SUV – buckle up! If it has a seat belt, use it.

Each week in June we’ll share road signs and what they mean.
This sign tells you to merge. Always follow traffic control signs (another good reason to focus on the road and not your phone). Use your turn signal, check your blind spot, and merge carefully into the open lane.

BEFORE you get a flat tire, it's a good idea to learn how to change a tire!
One of our recruit officers recently stopped to assist a motorist and discovered the teenage driver did not know how to change a flat tire. The officer took the opportunity to teach the driver step-by-step how to safely change the tire and get back on the road. Great work, officer!

Using your turn signal properly (at least 100 feet) prior to executing a turn does not give away secrets but keeps everyone on the road safer by avoiding a need for sudden braking by other drivers to avoid collisions. (And no, you don’t need any blinker fluid.)

Why are you going so fast? Is that speed worth the possible ticket or wear and tear on your vehicle? Speed limits are laws, not suggestions.

WHOA!!!!! Did you see that hazard in the road? If you are distracted by your phone or anything else taking your focus off of driving, you won’t.

When you first start out riding, ride with a buddy. Having a friend nearby has several benefits:
1. You are more visible to others on the road
2. If something goes wrong, there is someone there to help
3. It’s just more fun to share the open road with another rider who can coach you in riding in a safe and smart manner

Make the responsible choice. Never drive impaired or ride with someone who has any drinks or drugs in their system.

You wouldn’t put a Little League player in to pitch a high school game, so why would you attempt to operate a motorcycle outside of your skill range? Give yourself time and practice riding before adding on more horsepower. #MotorcycleSafetyMonth

Picking the right gear for riding is just as important as picking the right bike (stay tuned for next week’s post on that topic)! Choose gear that protects your body with a full-face helmet, sturdy jacket (bonus points if it is a bright color with reflective decals), gloves, and over the ankle boots. #MotorcycleSafetyMonth

Temperatures rise quickly as soon as you shut off your engine. Always lock your car so no kid can get in and become trapped. Check your back seat to make sure no kid is accidentally left behind. If you see a child alone in a vehicle, call 911.
