‘Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day’ Oct. 10
The day is designed to increase awareness about safe driving behaviors and keep the state’s roadways fatality free for one day.
The Evesham Township Police Department is promoting “Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day.”
According to police, motorists in New Jersey and throughout the nation are asked to join a day-long effort on Oct. 10 designed to increase awareness about safe driving behaviors and keep the state’s roadways fatality free for one day.
Known as Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day, police said the national initiative was designed to unite the country in moving toward zero fatalities for one full day by encouraging motorists to obey all traffic laws, including buckling up, every ride, driving the posted speed limit, avoiding distractions while driving and always being safe and sober behind the wheel.
According to police, the goal is to experience a day when all roadway users are extra vigilant and there are no fatalities on our roadways.
To support this effort, the Evesham Township Police Department will increase traffic enforcement efforts on Oct. 10.
Police say the effort will go a long way in continuing efforts to stem the tide of tragedies that occur every day on New Jersey’s roadways.
According to police, Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day not only raises awareness about the individual responsibility individuals have for their driving behaviors, but it also engages drivers in making positive changes behind-the-wheel every day of the year.
