Buckling Up Isn't Enough: Your Role in Avoiding Accidents
Police Department Reminds Campus Community to Drive Safely
With increased traffic on Bellevue and Lake roads, we remind drivers, cyclists and pedestrians to be careful while traveling to and from campus. Your safety is our top concern. A number of things can contribute to driver distraction including eating, adjusting the music, taking in the scenery or using a cell phone. We urge you to avoid such distracting activities and keep these important guidelines in mind:
- Always wear your seat belt
- Deal with phone conversations, text messages, e-mails and other alerts after you have reached your destination
- Slow down
- Allow plenty of time to get to your destination
- Above all, stay focused on the road
If you are involved in an accident or witness an accident, please notify campus police immediately at 209-228-2677 (CAT-COPS) or 911.
