Scam Alert: Fake Traffic Ticket Texts

Have you ever received a text saying you have a traffic ticket with a deadline to pay?
Some messages may look like they’re from a court and urge you to click a link right away but these can be scams.

⚠️ Watch for:

  • Urgent deadlines
  • Suspicious links
  • Messages asking for immediate payment

If something feels off, it’s always best to verify directly through official sources, not the link in the message.

Rainy Day Reminder

No time to read a long-winded BLOnG? Welcome to the Three-Second-Stop mini-Blog.

Today’s Three Seconds: Wet Weather Driving

In California, if your windshield wipers are on, your headlights must be on too. It’s the law — and it helps other drivers see you in wet, gloomy weather.

Small visibility habits like this keep everyone safer on the road.

Slow Driving in the Fast Lane

Driving too slowly in the left lane can be just as dangerous as speeding. It disrupts the flow of traffic and could get you pulled over—even if you’re near the speed limit.

You’re expected to go with the flow of traffic and keep right unless you’re passing. Left lanes are intended for passing; driving slower there can impact traffic safety.

⚠️ May result in a warning or citation.
