WisDOT challenges Wisconsin to put safety first by taking the two most important actions to prevent or survive a crash. Accept the Buckle Up Phone Down challenge.

  1. Use your seat belt every trip and put down the phone when driving.

  2. Take the Buckle Up Phone Down pledge.

  3. Share your commitment by taking a “thumbs up/thumbs down” photo. Post it to social media using the hashtag #BuckleUpPhoneDown.

    I’d say it’s less mildly infuriating and more “how do you do, fellow kids?”.

    The campaign looks like it was put together by a middle-aged state government worker trying to seem relevant to their target demographic.

        Too bhe faaaair. Wischonshin hash sheveral ofthe the top drunkesht cities innn thse nashon. (just checked and We now claim spots 1-4 +6, 9, 10, 12, 15, and 20. I do not help this statistic but I don’t drive drunk.)

        We apparently don’t care, as a whole. There are so many more bars than anything else in most rural/semi-rural areas because non-bar third spaces aren’t a thing. It’s just the only option for people to go to be social.

        But we also have had a very regressive government for a long time so…

            My next Va appointment is on a game day right around pitch… it’s going to be a nightmare getting there since it’s like right next to the stadium… 🙄 ima have to go 3 hours early just to avoid that shitshow.

            But yeah, I don’t do sports things so idk anything about our tailgaters with a few exceptions (below), however I have heard Wisconsin fans travel well for all our teams, college and pro. It’s a fucking shame we don’t have a hockey team, I’d be all over that and know a lot of others who would too.

            My exceptions are having been to packer opening day a few years ago, and going to the cotton bowl in Dallas Texas back in like 2014 or whatever it was. I’m not a sportsball sort of person, but the former I got free tickets because my partner briefly worked for the packers, and the latter we got $15 tickets and used it as a road trip excuse to see the badgers.

            My people know how to food and beer and social around it. Sadly that’s all many of us know.
