Drive safe:
✅ Buckle up, phone down
✅ Drive sober
✅ Slow down
Tow safe:
✅ Secure your trailer loads with rope, netting or straps
✅ Check your trailer is working properly (lights, inflated tires, bearings/axles, etc.)
✅ Make sure your ball and hitch are securely latched and connect safety chains of proper length to prevent wildfires
Boat safe:

We can all play a role in safely enjoying the great outdoors this summer! Read more: https://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/about-wisdot/newsroom/news-rel/052126-drive-tow-boat-safe.aspx
