Hot take: Why do you speed? 👀
Running late? Think the road is clear? Just going with the flow?
Whatever the reason, speeding can have serious consequences. In 2025, approximately one-third of all traffic fatalities in Kentucky involved a speeding or aggressive driver.
So, be honest: Why do YOU speed? Is it worth your life or someone else’s?

Take your time. Slow down. Get there safely.

Intense, dangerous heat is gripping parts of the country this week as temps soar into the triple digits. 🥵🌡️

It's critical to remember just how quickly a car can heat up. Never leave a child alone in a vehicle — not even for a minute!

A new Kentucky law (KRS 189.370) impacts what drivers should do if they see a bus with red flashing lights and an extended stop arm.

Check out the post below from KSP to learn more👇

School will be back in session soon! 🚌

Let's make safety a top priority by knowing the rules of the road. Drivers need to know how a new Kentucky law (KRS 189.370) impacts what they should do if they see a bus with red flashing lights and an extended stop arm:

• When this occurs on a road with more than two lanes that doesn't have a raised or unpaved median, traffic in all directions and lanes must stop.

• The only exception to this law is on a four-lane or more road that includes a raised or unpaved median. In this instance, traffic opposite to the extended stop arm may proceed.

The Kentucky State Police's top priority is keeping everyone safe at school, work, home and on the road.
