Local police departments are getting the word out on trying to reduce fatalities. The Atlantic County Sheriff’s Office announced that Oct. 10 will be known as “Put The Brakes On Fatalities Day,” the national initiative was designed to unite the country in moving toward zero fatalities for one full day by encouraging motorists to obey all traffic laws, including buckling up, every ride; driving the posted speed limit; avoiding distractions while driving; and always being safe and sober behind the wheel. Participating businesses in Atlantic County have made themselves available to perform a free 5-point safety check on each vehicle that stops in as part of “Put the Brakes of Fatalities Day.” This check will include brakes, belts, tires, lights, and steering systems. Among the places you can stop at including Bennett Chevrolet in Egg Harbor Township.
