Rural roads were more dangerous than those in urban areas for drivers and passengers in 2023. This Rural Road Safety Awareness Week, drive safely at all times — no matter what road you're traveling on.
Whether it ends with a ticket or tragedy, speeding will eventually catch up with you. Excessive speeding is a decision that endangers you and those around you. Help keep everyone safe on the road by obeying posted speed limits and staying focused behind the wheel. #NHTSA…
