July has flown by and before you know it, children will be headed back to school. With all the chaos of getting children on the bus and into school, drivers may forget safety rules that keep children safe. Traffic safety should be a top priority on and off school property. Before sending the kids back to school, read our back to school driving safety tips. Have fun and be safe when heading back to school this year!

2.ALWAYS stop for school buses that are picking up or dropping off children.

3.Never pass another driver in a school zone.

4.Don’t text or talk on a mobile phone when driving through a school zone.

5.Watch out for school crossing guards and always obey their signals.

7.Always be on the lookout for children who have strayed from their parents while driving through the school zone.

8.Make sure kids take the time to properly buckle children into their safety belts and car seats before embarking to school.
