Surprisingly, summer driving leads to increased fatalities
If you were to ask the average New Jersey driver when the most dangerous days on the road are, they would probably give you an answer that involves the winter months.

Protecting children by teaching them how to behave around dogs
For many children in New Jersey, sighting a dog is something to be excited about. Often, a child's reaction to noticing a four-legged friend may be to immediately run up to the pet and attempt to pet it. However, parents and guardians should be encouraging their children to be cautious when approaching an unknown animal and to ask for permission before they try to pet the animal.
