Spring is upon us. It is a time to enjoy, but for some it can be a time of grief − all because of reckless driving. Dates for fun events are out. People will be travelling with their loved ones to enjoy festivals, concerts, and ceremonies. Please be careful and avoid drinking when you are going to drive after having fun.
Respect traffic laws and fellow motorists, and watch out for pedestrians and livestock, especially in the rural areas. Many people have been killed by crashing into animals that cross the roads anywhere.
