Motorists should not use phones while driving, reduce speeds in school zones, and pay attention to the actions of children at intersections.
With the new school year about to start the RNC is asking parents, students and the motoring public to keep safety in mind. Parents need to educate their children on the proper use of crosswalks and encourage them to walk to bus stops with friends. Students should be vigilant when crossing sidewalks, and line up in a single file and wait for the bus to come to a complete stop. Motorists should not use phones while driving, reduce speeds in school zones, and pay attention to the actions of children at intersections. It is always illegal to pass a bus with its stop sign extended and lights flashing. The penalties for passing a school bus are 6 demerit points and up to $1200 in fines.
