Medications can impact driving safety.

Sledding Safety Tips
Sledding is a great way to enjoy the snow, but safety comes first! Keep these tips in mind:
✅ Choose a safe location – Sled away from trees, fences, rocks, and other obstacles.
✅ Avoid icy surfaces – Ice can cause loss of control and increase the risk of injury.
✅ One person per sled – Sharing a sled can lead to collisions and falls.
✅ Take turns – Sled one at a time to prevent crashes.
✅ Stay clear of roads – Never sled near traffic or driveways.
✅ Wear a helmet – Helmets can help prevent brain injuries if there is a crash.
✅ Avoid jumps – They increase the risk of losing control and getting hurt.
Enjoy the snow responsibly and make it a day full of fun, not accidents!
