The Best Mother's Day Gift

 

We've all been through so much this past year and one group that has especially struggled has been Mothers. Our mothers do so much for us by putting our needs before their own and helping us through the craziness life throws our way, like a pandemic perhaps. If you're searching for the perfect gift for your mother then look no further. One of the best gifts a mother can receive is knowing her children are safe.

While you are out late having fun or going on a trip with friends, your mom is back home worrying about if you're being safe and acting responsibly. Worry can take a big toll on someone's health and it's a feeling best avoided. Make your mom's day by letting her know the ways you are improving your safety habits.

With this month also being National Bicycle Month, it's the perfect time to refresh your memory with all the steps you should be taking to ensure your safety.

Bicycles aren't the only bikes that need to take safety precautions, Motorcycles cause an average of 75 deaths annually in Washington according to the Washington Traffic Safety Commission. While a motorcycle may not be your mothers preferred choice of transportation for you to take, motorcycles are still a reliable transportation method that many people enjoy riding. Because motorcycles have a higher probability of crashing than a car, it's important to ensure you are following every safety precaution.

While everyone is driving and operating their metal modes of transportation, there are people out on the street taking a casual stroll. These are the people that bikes, motorcycles, and cars all have to pay attention to. If vehicles and pedestrians both do their part to stay out of each other's ways, then everyone will be roaming in a safer environment. While you are going on your Mother’s Day walk this Sunday, make sure to follow all these safety tips.

Share these safety tips with your mom this Mother’s Day to let her know the precautions you’re taking to ensure not only your personal safety but the safety of others around you. Safety guidelines are in place to keep people protected, not following them doesn’t benefit anyone. As everyone is out this weekend enjoying the sunshine, remember to give your mothers the appreciation they deserve by committing to acting safe and responsibly. Happy Mother’s Day, stay safe!

Go the extra mile by signing our Safe Driving Pledge , this demonstrates your commitment to staying safe on the roads. Sign it to encourage yourself and reassure your mom that you are driving responsibly.
