From Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day, there's a noticeable increase in crashes involving teenage drivers, some of which can be deadly. Here are five tips to make teenagers safer while driving:

1. Limit passengers - Having passengers under 21 significantly heightens the risk of accidents for teen drivers.
2. Obey speed limits - Speeding poses a serious safety concern for young drivers.
3. Wear seatbelts - Buckling up is one of the most effective ways to save lives.
4. Eliminate distractions - Just a moment of inattention can lead to tragic outcomes.
5. Never drive impaired - Consuming alcohol or drugs is illegal and unsafe for teens.

Let's enjoy the summer with positive memories we can cherish for years to come.

May is Bike Month in San Antonio, and there’s no better time to swap a few car trips for a bike commute. 🚲

Whether you’re heading to work, running errands, or just enjoying the ride, a little planning can make your trip cooler, easier, and more enjoyable.
-Time it right: Ride early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s more comfortable.
-Choose your route: A slightly longer path with fewer stops can help you stay cool and keep moving.
-Dress smart: Wear light-colored, breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics to stay comfortable.
-Hydrate: Bring water and aim to drink regularly, especially in the Texas heat.

A few small adjustments can make a big difference. Happy riding this Bike Month!
