Bloomington Fatal Crash Review Committee
For safety tips and suggestions
This committee works to implement solutions for preventing and/or reducing fatal crashes in Bloomington.
 Stay up-to-date with changes in cars, traffic rules and YOU.
If it's been a few years since you first learned to drive and tested for your driver's license, you may have some catching up to do. Everyone could benefit by taking a safe driving course to brush up their skills. It is especially helpful for people with age-related changes in vision, hearing and reaction time.

Know how medications increase your driving risk and think before you drive.
We especially want to make seniors more aware of the driving risks with medications. While seniors may not be responsible for the majority of crashes, they are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. We want to reduce the risks to seniors and others on the road.
Safe driving tips and information about the effects of medication and alcohol on driving are in the brochure "Think Before You Drive." Download the brochure here (6-page, 1,000 KB PDF).
