Remember to Buckle up for Safety this Holiday Season!
Hampton Roads, VA. (UPDATED December 07, 2021) – On Monday, December 13, 2021, from 8-10 am, Drive Safe Hampton Roads’ Specialized Transportation Safety Committee will be working with Motor Carrier Safety Inspectors from Suffolk, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Virginia Beach to conduct this annual Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Appreciation Day.

This event runs from 8-10am.
