That's right, today when the traffic is congested as usual around 6pm in Belltown, it will be time to turn that frown upside down! Governor Chris Gregoire made the proclamation that today is officially "Drive Nice Day" in a statewide effort to encourage Washington residents to "drive nice."
Driving instructors will be will be located throughout Seattle and Tacoma today in the morning watching traffic. They'll tally the scores and the one with the fewest bad driving marks will be named the nicest driving city. Allstate Insurance will give the winning city $10,000 to promote safe driving.
Did you know that on average, two people are killed in automobile collisions in Washington state each day and more than 100 people are injured? Whoa! Time to be more nice indeed!
