Safety outside the vehicle is just as important as safety inside the vehicle. If you’re transporting goods, make sure they are properly secured to your vehicle!
Follow these steps to secure your load:
🚘 Tie it down with rope, netting, or straps.
🚘 Tie large objects directly to your vehicle or trailer.
🚘 Consider covering the entire load with a sturdy tarp or netting.
🚘 Don’t overload your vehicle or trailer.
🚘 Always double-check your load to make sure it’s secure.

Mothers often leave their young for several hours before coming back for them. Sometimes this leads people to believe these animals have been lost or abandoned, when they haven’t. If you care, leave them there!

Baby animals picked up by humans don’t end up well. Tell your kids, your neighbor kids, and your friends – If you care, leave them there.
