Babysitting? STOP. LOOK. LOCK all vehicles every time. Check the back seat before leaving your vehicle. Never leave children alone in a car for even one minute. Always lock your car so no kids get in without you seeing. As temps rise, the heat is deadly to all little ones.

DYK? In Kansas, you must be at least 16 years old to operate an ATV on public lands. If youâre 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, itâs 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 doesnât mean you should stop wearing your seat belt. Law enforcement can issue tickets for anyone not buckled up any day or night. Itâs the easiest thing you can do to be safer in a vehicle. Buckle up. Be SAFE.

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

Each week in June weâll 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 donât 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 wonât.

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. Itâs 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 wouldnât 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 weekâs 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
