With spring break season’s arrival comes heavier than usual traffic. The Alabama Department of Public Safety strongly encourages motorists – particularly young drivers and their parents -- to make highway safety a priority.

“Parents, let’s be proactive this spring break. Take time to sit down with your young drivers to discuss safety  before heading to the beach or other spring break destinations, especially if your teens will be traveling with friends,” said Col. Hugh B. McCall, director of the Department of Public Safety and the state’s highest-ranking state trooper.
