As students gear up for a new school year, our team at Larry K White LLC Atty At Law wants to help families keep safety top of mind. Whether your child walks, bikes, takes the bus, or gets a ride, a few simple reminders can go a long way.
Walking to school:
• Use sidewalks and crosswalks
• Make eye contact with drivers before crossing
• Walk with others when possible
Riding a bike:
• Wear a properly fitted helmet
• Ride with traffic and stop fully before crossing
• Choose low‑traffic routes
Taking the bus:
• Stand several feet back from the curb
• Wait until the bus stops completely
• Make eye contact with the driver before crossing
Getting dropped off:
• Follow school zone speed limits
• Stick to your school’s drop‑off procedure
• Never pass a bus that’s loading or unloading
Teen drivers:
• Seatbelts for everyone
• Devices put away
• Obey posted speed limits
We hope these tips help your family start the year safely. If you ever need guidance after an accident or have questions about injury cases, our Tallahassee lawyers are here to help.
