Summer gives teens more freedom—and more time behind the wheel.

Remind young drivers to put the phone away, stay focused and keep their eyes on the road.

Let's make these the 100 Safest Days of Summer.

Roadside workers chose careers helping others.

Help them stay safe by slowing down, moving over and staying focused when approaching flashing lights.

E-bikes are popular with kids and teens, but they're motorized vehicles—not toys.

Choose an age-appropriate model and always require a helmet.

Hosting a cookout, graduation party or family gathering this summer? While you're planning a great celebration, it's a good idea to understand your liability if someone gets hurt. Make sure you understand your insurance coverage before guests arrive.

When a teen driver is involved in a crash, it's not just the teen at risk.

Passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists and other motorists can all be affected.

Flashing lights ahead? That's your signal to slow down and move over. Those working at the roadside are helping to keep others safe, so be sure to return the favor.

It's not just the safe thing to do—it's the law in all 50 states.

Bicycles are vehicles, too. 🚲 That means bicyclists should follow the rules of the road.

Ride with traffic, obey signs and signals and stay alert to what’s ahead. For your safety, don't assume a driver sees you. Stay focused.

As National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month soon draws to a close, AAA reminds cyclists to make themselves seen when they ride.

Wear bright gear, keep your headlight on and stay out of blind spots to help others spot you on the road. Avoid abrupt lane changes.

As we enjoy the unofficial start to summer and gather with family and friends, we want to pause and remember those who gave everything so we could live free.

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day!

[AAA Mid-Atl DC News @AAADCNews]

Road safety is a shared responsibility. This Memorial Day, do your part to ensure everyone makes it home safely at the end of the day.

When you see flashing lights, whether on a road trip or just around town, do your part—slow down and move over.

Buzzed driving is impaired driving.

If you’re celebrating this graduation season or over Memorial Day weekend, plan ahead for a safe ride home.

Designate a sober driver, use a rideshare or stay where you are.

May is National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. Motorcyclists have the same right to the road as any other vehicle.

Give them a full lane, keep a safe distance and never try to share the lane.

Flashing lights ahead? That’s your cue.

Slow down and move over to help protect roadside workers and emergency crews.

AAA projects 3.66 million travelers will take domestic flights over Memorial Day weekend, a small increase over last year. Air travelers make up 8% of the 45 million Americans expected to travel over the long Memorial Day holiday weekend.

See and be seen. 🚲

Wear bright gear, use lights and stay focused—distractions can be just as dangerous on a bike.
