Stay Hydrated

The “dog days” of summer—those hot, sticky weeks in July and August—can take a toll on your body. Staying properly hydrated is one of the simplest and most effective ways to beat the heat and keep your energy levels steady. Water supports essential functions like regulating body temperature, circulating nutrients, and flushing out toxins. As temperatures rise, your body loses more fluids through sweat, even if you don’t notice it. Simple ways to stay hydrated:

• Keep a water bottle with you and sip throughout the day.
• Choose hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and leafy greens. Limit dehydrating drinks such as alcohol or heavily caffeinated beverages.
• Drink more when you’re active or spending time outdoors.
• Listen to your body—signs like fatigue, headache, or dry mouth can mean you need more fluids.
• When the heat is at its peak, a little extra attention to hydration goes a long way. Stay cool, stay refreshed, and take care of yourself this summer.

Back to School

As students head back to school, remember to follow Florida’s school bus safety laws:

• Drivers must stop for school buses when the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended.
• This applies in both directions unless you’re on a divided highway with a raised barrier or median at least 5 feet wide.
• If there’s only a painted line or paved median, all drivers must stop, regardless of direction.
• Passing a stopped school bus is illegal and may result in a citation, points on your license, a fine, and mandatory driver improvement course.
• Penalties are more severe if you pass on the side where children are entering or exiting the bus.
• Always slow down and use caution in school zones, especially during arrival and dismissal times.

Let’s all do our part to keep children safe this school year.

Labor Day

Labor Day, observed on the first Monday of September, is a time to celebrate the hard work and contributions of America’s workforce. It’s also a popular weekend for road trips, meaning traffic will be heavier and safety on the road is especially important.

If you’re traveling this Labor Day weekend, a little preparation can go a long way toward keeping you and others safe.

Halloween

Halloween is among the deadliest days of the year for pedestrians, particularly children. Crash data shows a sharp increase in pedestrian incidents once trick-or-treating begins at dusk. While safety may not be on their minds, it must remain top of mind for drivers.

Thanksgiving

For many Americans, Thanksgiving is all about three things: hanging out with family, catching the Macy’s Parade or football, and enjoying mom’s incredible feast. But getting there usually means dealing with some pretty chaotic traffic. The busiest travel times are typically the afternoons and evenings of the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday before Thanksgiving, as well as Thanksgiving Day between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., and Friday afternoon. If you want to skip the worst of it, try leaving before 10 a.m. on those days or traveling on Thanksgiving Day itself.
