Record crowds at ATL and things still running smoothly—well done!
AAA says give yourself extra time, stay organized, and expect crowds as spring travel ramps up.
Ravens: “We’ll walk with you for a bit.”
AAA: “Drivers, please do the same—slow down and watch for walkers.”
Nature gets it. Let’s do better too. 🖤🚦
Georgia roads are getting busier, and not just with cars. 👀
More walking + more traffic = slow down and stay alert.
Because people aren’t speed bumps.

Remember to get there early, check your flight often, and give yourself extra time to avoid missing your plane.

Long TSA lines
Staffing shortages + Spring Break crowds = waits.
Smile, pack smart, and show grace.
AAA-approved travel behavior ✅
Big plans this Valentine’s? Cute💞
Driving distracted or impaired? Not cute.
AAA reminds Georgia: safety is the real love language.
🏈Sunday night’s big game is unforgettable — but tragedy is too. Don’t drive drunk or impaired. That’s the post.
❄️ Winter Storm Fern really threw the whole region into a snow‑globe.
Before pretending everything is fine, AAA suggests doing a quick “Is my house still standing?” walk‑around.
Tip: Check for leaks, fallen branches, and anything that looks like it wasn’t there before.
🦘🚴♂️ Kangaroo collision… still wins the race.
Jay Vine’s Tour Down Under plot twist is peak Australia.
Funny? Yes.
Reminder? Bike safety matters — anywhere you ride.
Stay alert, gear up, and give yourself room to react. Wildlife doesn’t yield.
🚗❄️ Georgia drivers, melted ice is no joke!
Slush hides slick ice that can send you sliding fast. Slow down, leave 8–10 seconds of space, ease into brakes and gas, skip cruise control, and watch bridges for black ice.
Stay smart out there, Georgia.
It’s National Passenger Safety Week 🚗
Passengers make up 24% of crash fatalities — your voice in the car matters.
If the driver is speeding, distracted, or acting unsafely, speak up. It could save a life.
#PassengerSafetyWeek #AAA #SpeakUp
🚗 Crashes aren’t accidents, they’re preventable.

🍂October= Car Care Month!
Don't let small fixes turn into big problems. Before you hit the road, check your:
🛞Tires
🔋Battery
💧Fluids
🌧️Wipers
A few minutes of maintenance= a safer fall drive.
Drive Like Lives Depend on It.
Pedestrians don’t have airbags.
This October, AAA urges drivers to:
✅ Slow down in school zones and neighborhoods
✅ Yield at crosswalks
✅ Watch for walkers at night
Every step matters. Every second counts.
Speeding kills, just like drunk driving. Yet one carries a stigma, and the other is considered acceptable. It’s time to change that.
Remember:
Speeding is reckless
Speeding is deadly
Speeding is preventable
Let’s make speeding as unacceptable as driving drunk. #SpeedKills #CrashesHitDifferent
Your seatbelt isn't just a strap; it's your ride or die. Buckle up, every click is a choice to come home safe. Remember, crashes hit different when they happen to you!
Buckle up every trip, every time 🚗
