Earlier this week, FDOT and law enforcement kicked off the Operation Southern Slow Down campaign! 🏁

This multi-state effort from NHTSA is all about one simple message: SLOW DOWN and travel safely this summer. 🚗💨

Speeding may save minutes—but it can cost lives. Whether you're heading to the beach or just running errands, driving at a safe speed for road conditions helps protect everyone on the road.

✅ Quick Tips for Safer Summer Driving:

🌞 Expect More Traffic: Summer = more travel. Plan ahead and give yourself extra time.
🔒 Buckle Up: Everyone, every ride, every time.
🚧 Construction Ahead: With increased construction around the state, slow down in work zones and stay alert.
🚗 Be Patient: Aggressive driving and speeding won’t get you there faster—just riskier.

Let’s make this summer memorable for all the right reasons. Slow down, drive safe, and look out for one another. 🛣️💙

☀️ We're taking a short summer break!

Just like we encourage our students to slow down, recharge, and make safe decisions behind the wheel, our team is doing the same.

Our office will be on a very limited schedule through July 13 as our staff enjoys some well-deserved time with family and friends. During this time, phone calls and emails will take a little longer than usual to be returned.

🚗 Need to complete your traffic school before then? Our online courses are available 24/7, so you can register and complete your course whenever it fits your schedule or due date.

Happy Summer!

💲 Did you know properly inflating tires can save you up to 11 cents per gallon on gas?

Thanks UStires.org - who else could use that savings about now?

Tires are complex, but checking your tread doesn’t have to be...use the penny trick.

❓ Do you know how often to rotate your tires ❓

Check your vehicle owner's manual first. Otherwise, 5,000 to 8,000 miles is recommended to wear evenly.

Tires are one of the most important safety components of your vehicle...the only part that touches the road. That’s why tire care and maintenance should be top priority for all.

Actually, 511 traffic fatalities were reported in the U.S. in 2024.

In honor of National Tire Safety Week next week, play your P.A.R.T to stay safe while traveling this summer!

🚗☀️ The “100 Days of Summer” (Memorial Day to Labor Day) are fun—but also known as the 100 Deadliest Days for teen drivers across the United States.

With school out, teens hit the roads more often—sometimes without full awareness of the laws or risks. In Florida alone, top teen driver citations during this time include:

👉 No proof of insurance
👉 Driving without a valid license
👉 Breaking learner’s permit time restrictions

These aren’t just accidents—they’re preventable with the right education and awareness.

📌 Parents & guardians: Now is the time to talk with your teen about safe driving and Florida’s rules for new drivers. Check out our DETS resource.

Teach Your Teen to Drive mini-course is about the 6 common mistakes and how to keep your teen safe this summer.
