🚗Back to School = Back to Extra Caution on the Road!

With students heading back to class, here’s what every driver needs to know to keep our kids safe:

Around School Buses
🚌 Slow down when you see a bus — kids can dart into the road unexpectedly
🚦 Be extra alert at railroad crossings, where buses are required to stop
🛑 Know the law: If a bus has flashing red lights on, you MUST stop — no matter which direction you’re driving — unless there’s a physical barrier or median between you. A center turn lane does NOT count as a divider!

The Cost of Not Stopping
💸 First offense for illegally passing a school bus: up to $1,250 in fines
🚫 Repeat offenses: possible license suspension up to 6 months
⚖️ Serious injury caused? That can mean criminal charges

A Few More Reminders
🐢 Obey posted speed limits in school zones — always

👨‍👩‍👧 Beyond the road: talk to your kids about safety and situational awareness for emergencies or severe weather this school year. A few minutes of conversation now can make all the difference.

Let’s all do our part to get every student home safely. 💙
