Back to School Driving Tips

Before we know it, kids of all ages will be returning to classrooms. Some students will be going to school for the first time or going to a new school. And post-secondary students who just arrived in North Bay will also be making their way around the city.

There will be more youth walking, on bikes and riding on school buses on our roads.

The crew at Northern Honda have put together some great back-to-school tips for drivers:

Allow more time in the mornings. After getting used to a slower, more relaxed summer routine, give yourself some extra time to get to your destination starting in September.
Keep an eye out for kids who are excited or inexperienced on roadways – they may be having too much fun to pay proper attention to oncoming vehicles.

Respect the school bus rules! Never pass when those lights are flashing.
Be sure your car is working properly. Vehicle servicing is always important, but a vehicle inspection will ensure brakes are working well, traffic signals are functioning, and your handling and alignment are correct. With more kids on the streets, you don’t want to be part of any accidents.
