MDOT Reminds All Football Fans to Drive Safely This Weekend
"We want everyone to enjoy the excitement of the game, but safety must come first," reminds Motor Vehicle Administrator Chrissy Nizer, who also serves as Governor Wes Moore's Highway Safety Representative. "By following these simple reminders, we can ensure everyone enjoys the game and arrives back home safely."
In the event of an emergency incident, minor vehicle crash or a vehicle break down, call #77 or 9-1-1 for assistance. If possible, you should move your vehicle out of the travel portion of the roadway and determine your next step. If it is safe to remain in your vehicle, you should remain buckled and facing forward. If it is not safe or possible to remain within your vehicle, motorists and passengers are encouraged to evaluate the situation around them to determine an opportune time to exit the vehicle.
