Do Your Part To Put The Brakes On Fatalities
Tomorrow, Tuesday October 10th has a special designation as Governor Fletcher has proclaimed that day to be put the Brakes on Fatalities day. The Governor along with the States Transportation cabinet will be out delivering the message in hopes of raising awareness about safe driving. EKB News spoke with Sara George, Information Officer for Highway district 12 who told us what drivers can do, to help ensure their safety while traveling the roadways.
“We hope during the entire week people will stop and think about their driving habits whether or not they were a seat belt, whether or not they observe speed limits, whether their attentive at intersections and traffic signals.”
George then told us of a statistic, which is a positive look at fatalities on Kentucky roadways thus far this year.
“We have had thus far this year 80 fewer fatalities on Kentucky Roadways than at the same time last year and we want to keep that number at least 80 or even more!”
