DRIVING SAFETY MESSAGE:
Safety Gram #15-15, School's in Session - Stay
Alert! Safe driving tips for back to
school: After a summer of driving
without parent or school bus drop-offs/pick-ups or hoards of kids walking to
and from school, drivers can often forget the challenges of driving in school
zones. So now is the time, before school
starts, to adjust your driving habits to ensure you aren’t involved in a
potentially fatal crash with a child.
