- Always wear your seatbelt – Seatbelts reduce serious crash-related injuries by about half (www.teendriversource.org)
- Limit your distractions – This ranges from music to having a lot of friends in the car.
- Be patient and pay attention – “Do not speed to save time. Getting pulled over will cost you a lot more time than being more patient.”
- Be mindful of pedestrians in the parking lot – “There are a lot of middle and elementary school students in and around the parking lot, so it’s important for student drivers to drive slow.”
- If you’re driving on 155th Street and heading to Center Street, make sure you stop fully at the stop sign – “Students tend to roll through that stop sign, and it often causes problems.”
