When your car fogs up in the winter, you blast the defroster. But doing that on a hot, humid summer morning will turn your windshield into a solid cloud. 🌫️

Here's the trick for when the fog is on the OUTSIDE of your car. 👇

More people are on the roads! ☀️🌡️

Drivers — watch out for walkers, runners, bicyclists, and everything in between.

Pedestrians — follow the rules of the road and use crosswalks when available.

With more people out on two wheels, road safety is a shared responsibility.

If you’re driving:
🚗 Check your blind spots
🚗 Give them space
🚗 Slow down

If you’re riding:
🚴 Wear high-vis clothing
🚴 Signal your turns
🚴 Follow the rules of the road

Several states are bracing for severe weather — including flood watches. ⛈️⚠️

When you're behind the wheel, remember:
🔵 Drive slowly
🔵 Increase your following distance
🔵 Turn Around, Don't Drown!

Extreme heat is sweeping over parts of the country in the coming days.

The inside of a car can reach deadly temperatures in minutes. Keep kids safe — NEVER leave them alone in a vehicle. 👶🌡️

Millions across the U.S. are facing their first round of summer heat this week! 🌡️🥵

Your first instinct on a 90-degree day may be to get in the car, crank the AC to max and sit there, but there’s a much faster way to clear out stagnant air. ⤵️

And remember: a parked car gets dangerously hot instantly. Never leave a child alone in a vehicle — not even for a second.
