It’s Maryland law to move over when approaching ANY stopped, standing, or parked vehicle displaying warning signals – including hazard warning lights, road flares, or other caution signals. Be Serious About Safety. Move over or slow down so everyone can make it home.

One of the biggest basketball games ever is about to start. If you are out and feeling tipsy, don’t travel without a plan. Make a slam dunk with a safe ride home from a friend or ride share.

Storms can cause flooding in unexpected places. Just 12 inches of water can carry away most cars! Be Serious About Safety - Turn around, don’t drown.

Tip # 5: Liability…In most cases, it’s unlawful for parents to allow their children’s friends to consume alcohol in their home. If these same “friends” are later involved in a crash, the providing parents may be responsible for injuries, property damages and wrongful death. These same parents may also face criminal charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. ☀️ More WRAP “Tips for Parents to Prevent Underage Drinking” this summer can be found at wrap.org/wp-content/uploads/…

Make sure your vehicle is summer ready. Check to ensure all fluids are at recommended levels, there are no coolant system defects and that tires are adequate for highway travel. Possible severe weather later. Be cautious. #MDtraffic cg
