CHP

Yesterday, Officers from the CHP Chico Area participated in a pedestrian and bicycle safety event at Nord Country School. The event was focused on reminding drivers to watch for children walking and bicycling to and from school, obey all speed limits, avoid distraction, and know the laws regarding pedestrian right-of-way.

A DUI crash or arrest is preventable. Designate a sober driver, use public transportation, call a taxi, use a rideshare company, or stay where you are for the night. A DUI could cost you your license, freedom, life, or the life of another. @NHTSA @CHPCHICO

Seat Belt Reminder and Child Passenger Restraint Information Buckling up is the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself and your passengers in a crash. Along with buckling up yourself and other passengers who no longer require additional restraint systems, it is important to make sure the young ones are buckled up safely and properly as well. Safe Kids Worldwide has provided a resource that can answer most questions and they provide virtual check-ups.
