First big weekend of the summer season upon us

With Memorial Day weekend here, motorists are reminded to use extra caution with an increased number of vehicles and more visitors to slow things down.  Give yourself extra room between you and the vehicle ahead to give time for unexpected stops.  Enjoy the extended weekend, pay special attention for motorcycles and bicycles so we can all arrive alive.
