The Kentucky State Patrol, a participating agency, offers the following driving tips as part of the 6-State Trooper Project effort:

  • Obey the Speed Limit: Speeding reduces your ability to react and increases the severity of crashes.
  • Buckle Up Every Time: Wearing a seat belt is the most effective way to protect yourself in a crash.
  • Drive Sober: Never get behind the wheel if you are impaired. Call a friend, use a rideshare, or find another way home.
  • Report Dangerous Driving: If you encounter a motorist driving aggressively or engaging in risky behavior, contact your local KSP Post or dial 911.
