Frankfort, KY – As high school football lights up fields across Kentucky tonight, state troopers are reminding fans to play it safe on the roads.
According to the Kentucky State Police (KSP), troopers are stepping up safety messaging as part of their ongoing “High Five” campaign, encouraging drivers to buckle up before and after local games. The agency shared the reminder on social media Friday, using football-themed language to connect with fans and families.
“Heading to a high school football game tonight? Don’t fumble. Buckle up, Kentucky,” the post read. “Every seatbelt clicked means everyone gets home to celebrate.”
The campaign comes as KSP continues its fall traffic safety push, emphasizing seatbelt use, speed reduction, and safe driving near school zones and stadiums. Trooper Coleman and other public safety officers will be visible around high school venues this weekend to promote community safety.
State data shows that seatbelt compliance plays a key role in reducing serious injuries and fatalities, especially during high-traffic weekends tied to sporting events.
Fans attending tonight’s games are urged to plan ahead, drive sober, and ensure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained.
