English term or phrase: road safety alert
This is the title for a list of safety tips for safe driving in winter conditions. The full title is "Road Safety Alert: The Festive Season"
Of course I know what it means, but my brain is blocked today and I just cannot come up with a snappy translation. It has to be quite short to fit in.

Hello Kerstin, if you need something special and want to stress the alert why don't you say so in the first place? It would also help to know what kind ofo 'alert' this is - besides 'don't drink too much punch'.

neutral  Hans G. Liepert: Nichts gegen die Übersetzung, aber die Slogans der grossen Organisationen sind teilweise copyrighted

  -> Hans, Dein Einwand in Ehren, aber soll ich vielleicht erst eine Stunde recherchieren, um sämtliche Copyrights zu prüfen? Wenn das erwartet wird, mache ich lieber gar keine Vorschläge mehr.

agree  Endre Both: Hans, ich wäre mal neugierig, welche der obigen Slogans tatsächlich copyrightfähig sind.

  -> Danke schön, Endre. Zugegeben: Ich habe potenzielle Copyrights nicht überprüft - aber das sehe ich auch nicht als meine Aufgabe an.

Alarm für sicheres Fahren


Explanation:
Zugegeben, dies ist nicht unbedingt so prickelnd wie Kerstin es sich wünscht, aber ich bin wohl die Erste, die das "alert" überhaupt berücksichtigt.
Ich dachte an die Fernsehreihe "Alarm für Cobra 13" (oder so ähnlich) und hoffte, die Leser würden eine ähnliche Assoziation bringen.
