PSA 1: This is your CHS Super Safety Squad reminding you to drive safe during this holiday season. Remember, texting and accessing the internet while driving is illegal in Tennessee. Stay alert and alive.

PSA 2: Are you buckled up? You better be. Officers can stop and ticket unbelted drivers or passengers. Keep yourself, friends and family safe — speak up and insist everyone is belted. In a crash, an unbelted person can slam into and injure others in the vehicle. Remember to wear your belt low and snug across the hips, and never tuck the belt under your arm or behind your back. Always buckle up Front & Back Seat too! A life-saving message from the Covington High School’s Super Safety Squad!

PSA 3: When you’re behind the wheel, focus on the road. Talking on the phone, texting, eating, reading, changing music, and reaching for items are all serious distractions. It takes just one second to change a routine drive into a rush to the ER. Remember, texting and driving is illegal in Tennessee. Stay alert and stay alive. This life-saving message is brought to you by Covington High School’s Super Safety Squad.
