Lights and reflection save lives. Dark winter commutes make it harder for drivers to see you, but reflective gear and bright lights can make all the difference.

Students start their day in school zones, let’s start ours with patience. Slow down, look twice, and drive distraction-free for kids on foot or on wheels.

[Rutherford Police @RutherfordPDNJ]

Driving high risks more than you. It endangers classmates, friends, and neighbors. Slower reactions and blurry focus can cost lives. Stay sober, keep your peers safe.
