As we head into race weekend at @TooToughToTame with the Buckle Up South Carolina 200 tonight, we are bringing you an important safety message. Before you start your engines, make sure you buckle up. It’s your best defense against serious injury (or worse) in a collision. #BuckleUpSC #clickitdontriskit #highwaysafety #SCHighwayPatrol #NASCAR

Wrapped up a 3-day Public Information Officer (PIO) class at the Horry County EOC. Learned a ton, met some great people from across the state, and even completed my first live interview. Humbling experience but a great one. Looking forward to putting these skills to work.

Whether racing at @TooToughToTame or just running errands, professional @NASCAR driver @RossChastain takes safety very seriously. That's why he wears his seatbelt both on and off the track. Because at the end of the day, the biggest win is getting home safely! #BuckleUpSC #clickitdontriskit #highwaysafety #SCHighwayPatrol #NASCAR #RossChastain

Do you know your railroad crossing signs? Each one gives you important information before and at the crossing. Know the signs. Know what to do. #STOPTrackTragedies #SeeTracksThinkTrain

If you plan to drink this St. Patrick's Day, don't test your luck by driving home. Call a sober friend or book a rideshare. Have a safe and happy St. Patrick's Day! ☘️ #stpatricksday #highwaysordieways #soberorslammer

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day the SAFE way and plan for a sober ride. 🍀🚗 Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving.

Troopers from the South Carolina Highway Patrol were honored to assist our partners from the Capital Police and other local agencies with The Faith & Politics Institute 2026 Congressional Pilgrimage. It was an honor for Charleston to host this event!

Motorama in Greenville was a blast! Lots of questions about our new Mustangs, traffic safety and career questions!

Don't cut your joyride short with a trip to the hospital. An airbag deployment is powerful enough to cause serious injuries if you are sitting improperly. In the event of a wreck, propping your feet up on the dashboard could even land you in the hospital, even with a seatbelt on. Ride safe and smart by sitting properly and always buckling up.

Making time for tomorrows Troopers today! @schighwaypatrol ⁦@theSCDPS⁩
