Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day

Florida Governor Charlie Crist has issued an official proclamation declaring Friday, October 10, the Eighth Annual Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day.

Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day is a national event initiated by many partner organizations who are working to lower the number of deaths that occur on our nation's roadways. The coalition's efforts to reduce fatalities address the need for improvements to our roadways, our vehicles, and basic driver behavior. Anyone willing to participate is invited to become involved with the project, and the official website includes safety tips, fact sheets, an event toolkit, and more.

As traffic safety education providers whose educational mission is to help students to become safer drivers and to save lives, Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., and its affiliates are proud to do our part. We encourage you to take advantage of the resources available to you on the official Put the Brakes on Fatalities Day website. And, of course, we encourage you to stress to your students—each and every day in class—the need to drive safely and defensively. Their lives may depend on it!
