Buckle Up or Eat Glass
Farm Safety 4 Just Kid's Buckle Up or Eat Glass (BUEG) PowerPoint presentation has been updated with current statistics, a slide on distracted driving, and information for the presenter in the notes section. If you have a FS4JK BUEG educational packet with a CD included, you may want to replace it with this updated version.

Use this PowerPoint presentation when giving an overview about rural roadway safety. The presentation has many pictures, but was purposely designed without a fancy background or animation. Please feel free to add or change pictures to depict locations within your community. Or, add a background that represents the topography of your area.
