With most schools back in session this week, we would like to remind all motorists to slow down!! Many children are standing at bus stops, walking or riding their bikes to school. It is our responsibility behind the wheel to slow down & drive cautiously. Give yourself a few extra minutes in the morning & try to be patient as these bus drivers get used to their new routes. Be aware of the flashing lights & be sure to stop a safe distance away from the bus.
This is also a good time to remind everyone that Massachusetts Law states No Texting While Driving! If you are texting while driving, you are not paying full attention to other vehicles or pedestrians around you and this is when accidents happen. Put your cellphone away in a safe spot while driving so that you are not tempted to text, nothing is more important than your safety & the safety of others. This is not just good advice, it is the law!
Just as you keep your car protected with the appropriate Massachusetts Car Insurance policy, you need to keep yourself & others safe while you are driving.
