Summer is coming to an end and school days will start the in first week of September. Whether children walk, ride their bicycle, take the bus to school, or are teen drivers it is vitally important that they and the motorists around them take proper safety precautions.๐๐๐๐ง ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ซ:Here are a few simple tips to make sure they get there safely.1. Itโs never too late to be a good role model. Your son or daughter has been watching what you do in cars since they were small and will model their good and bad behavior after what they see you do. Even if youโve made mistakes, start doing the right thing today. 2. Buckle up on every ride, every time; front seat and back. Make buckling up a habit starting when kids are young.3. Make sure your teen gets at least 50 hours of practice with an experienced driver in a variety of road conditions. Check your state law to find out whatโs required, but donโt stop there if your child needs more time. 4. Limit the number of passengers that are allowed in the car with your teen. The risk of a fatal crash increases as the number of passengers increases. Every child is different so set your rules based on your own assessment of your child.5. Encourage your child to speak up if a driver of any age isn't driving safely and makes them feel scared. Provide them with alternative plans to get home, just in case.www.safekids.org/safetytips/field_risks/teen-drivers... See MoreSee Less
