As families gear up for back‑to‑school season, we want to help make every trip to and from school a safe one. Whether students are walking, biking, riding the bus, or driving themselves, a quick safety reminder can make all the difference.
Walking: Encourage kids to use sidewalks, cross at marked crosswalks, make eye contact with drivers, and walk with others when they can.
Biking: A properly fitted helmet is essential. Students should ride with traffic, stop completely before crossing, and choose routes with lighter traffic whenever possible.
Bus riders: Remind children to stand back from the curb, wait for the bus to stop fully, and always make eye contact with the driver before crossing in front of a bus.
Drop‑offs: If you're driving your child, follow posted school zone speeds and your school's drop‑off procedures. Never pass a bus that is loading or unloading.
Teen drivers: Review safe habits like wearing seatbelts, keeping devices put away, and staying within speed limits.
We hope these reminders help your family start the school year with confidence. If you ever have questions about coverage or ways to keep your household protected, our team at MAC Insurance, Inc. is always here to help.
