We would like to wish our seniors a safe and enjoyable Prom night. Be safe!
Prom season is an exciting time for our students, but as you prepare for the big night, the Fort Fairfield Police Department wants to ensure that "unforgettable" only refers to the fun memories, not a tragedy on the road.
We’re teaming up with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to share these essential tips for our local teens:
🚗 : Save the photos and social media posts for when you aren't behind the wheel. Distraction is a major factor in teen crashes. Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.
🚫 Drive Sober: Underage drinking and drug use are illegal and dangerous. If you’ve consumed any impairing substance, don’t get behind the wheel. Period.
⚠️ Buckle Up: It’s the easiest way to save a life. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is buckled up—every trip, every time.
📉 Slow Down: Inexperience behind the wheel makes speeding especially dangerous. Give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination safely.
😴 Stay Alert: Prom nights are long. If you're feeling exhausted, don't risk driving drowsy. Work out a plan with friends to stay the night in a safe place or have a trusted adult pick you up.
We hope that you all have a great and memorable evening. Be safe!
