Arrive Alive 3 Ways to Keep Yourself and Others Safe on the Road
HAVE A LAUGH
With spring on our doorstep, the weather here in San Diego, California, is warming up and more people are on the road. Now, more than ever, it’s important to practice smart driving habits to ensure you are keeping yourself, your passengers, and all others sharing the road safe. If you’re getting behind the wheel, here are some tips to ensure you always arrive alive.
BUCKLE UP According to the National Safety Traffic Highway
Administration (NHSTA), back in 2017, seat belts saved 14,955 lives. Accidents happen — they’re inevitable — but, the one thing you can do to safeguard your life is wear a seat belt every time you enter a vehicle. DRIVE SOBER Never, in any situation, get behind the wheel of a car if you have been drinking or are under the influence of a drug. Instead, locate a sober designated driver, call a friend or family member, or utilize a ride-share option such as Uber, Lyft, or a taxi service. On that note, to keep our roads safe, report all cases of impaired driving to law enforcement — you never know whose life you may be saving.

DRIVE DEFENSIVELY There’s a big difference between driving defensively and driving aggressively. Aggressive driving can lead to road rage and erratic behavior on the road. To avoid being bothered by an aggressive driver, it’s important to drive in a defensive manner. Don’t make eye contact with drivers who seem to be upset or out of control, and make every attempt to avoid potentially dangerous scenarios caused by others on the road. Don’t challenge others or retaliate. Instead, drive with caution. This spring, especially with St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, practice safe driving habits. Here at the office, we see many accidents and unfortunate situations take place this time of the year — be safe!
DIRECTIONS
1. Season steak with salt and pepper. Brush with 1 tbsp curry paste, and let stand 10 minutes. 2. In a saucepan, combine rice, 1 3/4 cups water, 1 tbsp oil, and 3/4 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then stir, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer about 15 minutes before adding white and light-green scallions. Cover to steam. 3. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl in 1 tbsp oil. Add the steak, flipping once; cook this for 7–9 minutes, then transfer to a carving board. 4. Reduce the skillet to medium heat, then add 1 tbsp oil and the remaining 2 tbsp curry paste. Cook this for 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup water and cook until reduced, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl and cover. 5. Wipe skillet clean, then add remaining 1 tbsp oil. While stirring, add snap peas. Season with salt and cook this until crisp-tender, about 2–3 minutes. 6. Fluff rice before stirring in scallion tops. Slice steak against the grain, then serve with rice, peas, and curry sauce.
