DRIVE SMART Weld County empowers drivers and passengers to make wise choices while on the road with programs and classes for teens and adults.
Always remember the No Zones of a big rig. Give them room.
Trucks require much more stopping distance than an average passenger vehicle. When passing, stay out of those “No-Zones” and get back into the truck driver’s visibility range as soon as it’s safe to do so. #ShareTheRoad
