Parents — remember teaching them how to tie their shoes? 👟

Teaching them to drive takes the same thing: patience, practice, and a lot of reminders. ⤵️

Kids are most at risk right as they step on and off the bus. Give them the time and space to do it safely. 🚌

Know what each light means 👇 and check your state's stop-arm laws.

SLOW DOWN. MOVE OVER. SAVE LIVES.

On Saturday, October 17, National Move Over Day, the Nevada Highway Patrol, a division of the Nevada State Police, conducted focused enforcement of Nevada's Move Over laws throughout Northern Command.

Troopers issued 50 citations and 4 warnings for Move Over violations.

During the enforcement effort, troopers also reported other traffic enforcement activity, including speeding violations and a DUI investigation.

“Every day, our troopers, first responders, tow operators, road crews and others work along busy roadways, often just feet from moving traffic. Failing to slow down and move over puts lives at risk. We ask every driver to pay attention, slow down and move over when safe. Give those working along our roadways the space they need to do their jobs and get home safely to their families.” Anthony Munoz, Major, Nevada Highway Patrol.

A few seconds of caution could save a life.
