(NSP) — The Nebraska State Fair is underway, and troopers are teaming up with the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office to spread the message of seat belt safety and practicing safe driving behaviors.
Throughout the fair, troopers are giving safety demonstrations at the NDOT-HSO booth inside the Pinnacle Bank Expo Building. Visitors can take a spin in the NSP Seat Belt Persuader and experience a simulated rollover crash.
“Our troopers do a great job of educating young drivers throughout the state and the State Fair offers a great opportunity be share safety messages with thousands of people,” said Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol.
This effort is made possible thanks in part to a grant for $20,580 from NDOT-HSO. The State Fair runs through Labor Day, September 5.
