Have a safe commute home on Drive Nice Day
Today is the fourth annual Drive Nice Day and drivers throughout the state are encouraged to be more aware of safe driving behaviors. The event is held once a year on the Thursday before Memorial Day Weekend. According to the campaign's web site, the upcoming holiday weekend is known to be one of the most dangerous weekends of the year on the road due to automobile collisions.
In 2008, a Drive Nice Day City Challenge assessed driving habits at busy intersections in Tacoma and Seattle during the morning rush. The verdict: Seattle residents drive nicer, at least according to the tally. Judges penalized 10 percent of drivers there for their behavior behind the wheel. Sixteen percent of Tacoma's drivers received negative marks.
This year, teens from local high schools were challenged to make video public service announcements about safe, non-distracted driving.
Seattle police said a man was arrested on the suspicion of driving under the influence and vehicular assault after he ran a red light and caused a crash that sent two people to the hospital.
