    Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour tonight. Now is also a good time to check and change the batteries in your smoke detectors.

    What will you do with your extra hour Sunday when we return to Standard Time? You could sleep OR you could perform some basic safety checks! First, make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are in working order. Then, update your emergency supply kit.

    Are you seeing a dashboard light in your car that looks like this? The cold overnight air could be the culprit. Check your tires' pressure & confirm what pressure it should be. This information can be found on the inside of the driver's doorsill.

    The Move Over law helps protect first responders, motorists and employees from the dangers of being roadside. When you see red, yellow or amber flashing lights activated, MOVE OVER a lane if safe to do so, or SLOW DOWN.
