Before your kids head out the door, make sure they know how to get to school safely, no matter how they are getting there. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

🔵Walking to school? Stick to sidewalks, cross only at crosswalks, make eye contact with drivers before stepping into the street, and always walk in a group when possible.

🔵Riding a bike? A properly fitted helmet is non-negotiable. Remind students to ride on the right side of the road with traffic, come to a complete stop before crossing, and choose a route with minimal intersections and light traffic.

🔵Taking the bus? Students should stand at least 6 feet back from the curb when waiting for a bus, wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before boarding, and never walk behind or in front of a bus without making eye contact with the driver first.

🔵Getting dropped off? If you drive your child to school, obey school zone speed limits, follow your school's drop-off procedure, and never pass a bus that is loading or unloading children.

🔵Teen drivers? Review the basics of safe driving. This includes, but is not limited to, having all passengers wear seatbelts, putting devices away while driving, and driving the speed limit.

We hope you find these tips helpful as students transition back to school. As always, if you have any needs or questions, do not hesitate to reach out to our team. We are happy to help.

With back-to-school season approaching and August marking National Traffic Awareness Month, our team at Wright-Gardner Insurance wanted to share a few friendly reminders to help everyone stay safe on the road.

This time of year brings big shifts in daily traffic patterns across Hagerstown and the surrounding communities. More buses, more pedestrians, and more young students mean it’s worth taking a little extra time and staying alert during your commute.

Here are a few simple safety tips we encourage motorists and parents to keep in mind:
• Slow down in school zones
• Watch for unexpected pedestrian crossings
• Give buses and bikes plenty of space
• Plan extra time for morning and afternoon travel

A few small habits can make a meaningful difference for the most vulnerable people on our roads. If you think someone in your network could benefit from these reminders, feel free to share.

And as always, if you have questions about auto insurance or need help reviewing your coverage, our team at Wright-Gardner Hagerstown is here to help.

Ever loan a car to a friend or borrow someone else's vehicle? It’s a common situation, and many drivers aren’t sure whose insurance would apply if an accident happens.

In most cases, auto insurance follows the vehicle. That means the car owner’s policy is usually primary. But there are exceptions, and certain situations may shift coverage to the driver instead.

At Wright-Gardner Insurance, our team is here to help you understand how your auto insurance works so you’re never left guessing. If you want to review your policy, explore additional coverage, or get a local perspective from an independent insurance agency in Hagerstown MD, we’re always happy to walk through it with you.
