Right before tens of thousands of UCF Knights hit the roads the see loved ones this Thanksgiving, the university is helping to make sure students’ cars are safe.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Friday, Nov. 20, a car care safety program will be held in the open parking lot next to the Zeta Tau Alpha house where certified machanics will help teach basic safety and maitenance features about cars.
It’s being hosted by UCF police, Parking Services and a UCF Housing and Residence Life committee.
There will be a number of vendors on site including: AAA, State Farm Insurance, All State Insurance, Florida Safety Council, Knights Against Drunk Driving — and all offering UCF specials and giveaways.
