Stay Safe During Roadside Emergencies

Watch Out for Roadside Assistance Scams

When your car breaks down, help should make things easier—not worse. Unfortunately, scammers sometimes target stranded drivers. Here’s how to stay protected:

  • Call Trusted Sources Only: Use the number from your insurance, car manual, or official roadside assistance card.
  • Confirm It’s the Service You Called: Scammers may show up pretending to be the company you contacted—always double-check before accepting help.
  • Go Through Your Insurance When Possible: If your policy includes roadside assistance, reach out directly for verified help.
  • Watch for Red Flags: Be cautious of anyone asking for upfront cash payments or offering unclear pricing.

Stay alert and don’t let scammers turn a stressful situation into something worse.

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.

          Parking Can Be a Breeze with the Right Tips!

          Doing some last-minute holiday shopping? Here are some tips to keep things easy and stress-free:

          • Plan Ahead: Visit during off-peak hours, such as early mornings or late evenings.

          • Be Aware: Always stay alert for pedestrians, especially in busy parking lots.
