Top Three Reminders for Drivers in School Zones

Now that the school year has begun here in Sioux Falls and around the country we should revisit what to do and what not to do while behind the wheel.

As you sit behind the wheel:

• Slow down
• Put down the phone
• Forget about driving around that bus

AAA’s School’s Open – Drive Carefully awareness campaign was launched in 1946 in an effort to prevent school-related child pedestrian traffic crashes—helping kids to live fulfilling, injury-free lives.
