We're being spoiled with cooler weather this week, but it's still hot enough out there to be dangerous to anyone left behind in a car. Never leave a child, senior or pet in a vehicle (even with the windows down in the shade) and look before you lock!

It's pretty simple-Buckle up, everyone, every time! Hey parents, being a good role model and wearing your seatbelt is a great first step in teaching young ones that it's the first thing you do when you get in the vehicle.

Great information for drivers ➡️ turn lanes in the middle of the road are not a median or barrier and drivers need to be stopping for buses going the opposite direction.

Even in temperatures as low as 60°F, the inside of a car can overheat quickly. Accidentally leaving a sleeping child behind could be deadly. Parents and caregivers: prevent vehicular heatstroke and make sure to always check the back seat before you leave the car. #StopLookLock

Move Over Monday: Slow down and give space to emergency vehicles on the road. It's not just a law, it's about safety for everyone.

Fraudulent emails or SMS text messages branded as AAA are being sent to recipients congratulating them on "winning" or having an "expiring offer for a car emergency kit." AAA did not send these emails, & they could potentially be malicious. Do not open or click any links in these

Teaching kids about safety is as importance as reading and writing. Back to School is a reminder to take the time to educate your children about pedestrian and bicycle safety.

Deer mating season will be here soon, and so will be the increased risk of deer-related collisions. Stay alert on the roads, especially during early morning and evening commutes.

The busy summer travel season is over, but there are still lots of opportunities to see the world during the "Shoulder Season" when temps are a little cooler, prices are lower and historic locations and attractions are less crowded. Plan your trip here: aaa.com/tripcanvas

Did you know...the gas you put in your car does have an expiration date. If you drive regularly, it's not a problem. But, if you have a classic vehicle or one you rarely drive, it's a concern. AAA Club Alliance cluballiance.aaa.com/the-extra-mile…

Even if you're not traveling soon, it's a good time to check your passport. If it's expiring soon, start the renewal process now. You can get passport photo taken at our AAA locations. Passports expiring in less than 6 months aren't valid in many countries cluballiance.aaa.com/the-extra-mile…

Running a red light isn't worth the few seconds you might save in time. It puts you, your passengers, other travelers and pedestrians and cyclists at risk if you enter an intersection on a red light. 1,149 people were killed in crashes that involved red light running in 2022.
