Riding season is here & it’s a good time to remind everyone to look twice for bikes. Motorcycles are easier to see when you’re NOT distracted!!

If you ride, you can’t blame someone in a car for not seeing you if you’re riding too fast, unsafe, or are creating the hazards.

For the last 250 years, Americans have answered the call to serve and defend our great nation.

Today, we remember and honor all the brave women and men who lost their lives in service to our country.

America is the home of the free because of the brave.

[Colonel Bryan Waugh @ColonelWaughNSP]

Today, and always, we honor the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who gave their lives in defense of our nation. Their courage and selfless service secured freedoms we must never take for granted.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day is here! While today may include barbecues, road trips, and trips to the lake, it also marks the start of the “100 Deadliest Days” for teen drivers.

Before teens hit the road this summer, talk with them about safe driving habits. One safe decision can save a life.

[Nebraska State Patrol @NEStatePatrol]

They gave everything in service to our country and generations of Americans. Some recent, others of the distant past. All heroes.

On Memorial Day, we honor the sacrifice made by our nation’s heroes over our 250 years. May their names and memory live forever.

If you're planning to drink this Memorial Day weekend, plan a sober ride home:

🔴Call a taxi
🔴Schedule a rideshare
🔴Call a sober friend to bring you home

Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving.

This week — and every week — let’s give EMS crews a hand. 🚑⚠️ Slow Down or Move Over for all flashing lights and give them room to work on the roadside.

Protect the people who protect you.
