Lucky isn’t a strategy.

Recently, this driver made the reckless decision to get behind the wheel while impaired. Fortunately, no innocent motorists, pedestrians, or cyclists were injured, but the outcome could have been much worse. Instead, the collision resulted in significant property damage and serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of drunk driving.

Every time someone chooses to drive under the influence, they put the lives of everyone around them at risk. A night out, a few drinks, or a bad decision can change lives forever in a matter of seconds.

If you plan to drink, make a plan to get home safely. Use a designated driver, call a friend, use a rideshare service, or stay where you are until you’re sober.

This driver was fortunate that the consequences were limited to damaged property. The next impaired driver may not be so lucky.

Drive sober. Arrive alive.

The best part of our job isn’t writing citations or making arrests—it’s service.

Recently, Officer McTaggart and his partner, Officer Erby, came across a motorist stranded with a flat tire. Although she had already called for a tow truck, her vehicle was stopped in an unsafe location and waiting posed an unnecessary risk to her safety.

Rather than leaving her to wait, the officers stepped in, changed the tire, and got her safely back on the road.

Every day, CHP officers encounter opportunities to serve the public in ways both big and small. Sometimes that means responding to emergencies, and sometimes it means lending a helping hand to someone in need. Either way, our mission remains the same: providing the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security to the communities we serve.

Great work by Officer McTaggart and Officer Erby for going above and beyond to help a motorist and keep our roadways safe.

The first CHP State Capitol Explorer Challenge since 2019 is officially in the books!

Explorer teams from across California came together to compete, build leadership skills, strengthen teamwork, and challenge themselves through a series of law enforcement-based scenarios and events.

This weekend marked more than just competition; it was a chance to reconnect, learn, and continue building the next generation of leaders in public service. Congratulations to all participants, advisors, and volunteers who helped make the return of the Explorer Challenge a success.

We’re proud of the dedication, professionalism, and teamwork displayed throughout the event. 👏

School may be out, but apparently some students still haven’t learned their lesson.

For the second time since April, one rider decided that speed limits were more of a suggestion than a rule. Unfortunately, the report card came back with the same grade: Pulled Over.

This time, the lesson got a little more expensive. Due to repeated violations, the motorcycle earned itself an all-expenses-paid trip to the impound yard.

Speeding isn’t just about risking a ticket. Excessive speed puts the rider and everyone else on the road in danger. The laws of physics don’t take summer vacation, and neither do the consequences of unsafe driving.

Take the lesson from this repeat offender: Slow down, ride responsibly, and make sure your motorcycle spends the summer on the road—not behind the gates of an impound lot.

Partnerships make our communities safer.

Recently, CHP North Sacramento joined forces with Beale Air Force Base, Yuba City Police Department, and the Sutter County Sheriff’s Office for a collaborative motorcycle safety training event. The goal of the training was to provide Air Force personnel with valuable knowledge and hands-on instruction to help them become safer riders both on and off duty.

Motorcycles offer freedom and excitement, but they also require a heightened level of skill, awareness, and responsibility. Through classroom instruction and practical riding exercises, participants learned techniques designed to improve rider safety, hazard recognition, and overall motorcycle operation.

We are proud to work alongside our law enforcement and military partners to promote safe riding practices and help reduce motorcycle-related collisions and injuries. Thank you to everyone who helped make this training a success.

Ride smart. Ride safe. Arrive alive.

This Memorial Day, the California Highway Patrol honors the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. We remember their courage, their commitment, and the families who continue to carry their legacy.

Their sacrifice reminds us that safety is a responsibility we all share. As we reflect on their service, we encourage everyone to drive safely, remain vigilant and make responsible choices on the road.

California recognizes May as Wildfire Awareness Month. Wildfires threaten lives, homes, and communities — and prevention starts with all of us. Your California Highway Patrol encourages everyone to take simple precautions to help reduce wildfire risks:

🔥 Wildfire Safety Tips:
❌ Never toss cigarette butts from a vehicle
❌Avoid parking on dry grass
✅ Secure trailer chains to prevent roadside sparks
✅Obey all fire restrictions and evacuation orders
✅Have a family emergency bag with all essentials such as medications, documents, and supplies.
✅Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle during fire season and plan multiple evacuation routes
✅Maintain your vehicle at a minimum of half tank

Most importantly if you see smoke or fire near a roadway, report it immediately by calling 911 or local emergency services.

As temperatures rise and conditions become drier, everyone plays a pivotal role in preventing wildfires and keeping our communities safe.

Together, we can help protect lives, property, wildlife, and our highways. Stay alert. Stay prepared. Stay safe.
