Arrive Alive This Summer: Be Safe, Slow Down, Never Drive Impaired, Buckle Up

Traveling throughout Florida can be just as fun as getting to your destination. During the summer travel season, Florida’s roads can be some of the busiest in the country. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) is educating everyone on safe driving practices to always Arrive Alive.

SPEEDING – SLOW DOWN, STAY COOL

• As a motorist, it’s your responsibility to know and obey the speed limit on each road you travel.

• Speed limits are in place to keep you and those around you safe. Together, we can create a safer summer for all by slowing down and staying cool on the road.

• In Florida, the speed limit will never be higher than 70 mph on highways. Slow down – no excuses.

• Speeding is against the law and extremely dangerous. Obeying speed limits improves safety by reducing the probability and severity of crashes.

• Last year, during the months of June and July, there were 107,048 crashes in Florida with 499 deaths and 2,385 serious bodily injuries.
