Back to School Time is Just Around the Corner
After what probably seemed like a way too short summer of enjoying vacation time, relaxing, and the delightful combination of the water and sun, at the end of August most of North Carolina and South Carolina returns back to school. For those folks with children, instead of maybe taking time in the morning to have a little more coffee, it is off to drop the kids at school, rush to work, and then rush out for the after school routine. Drivers without children may also be learning new routines as they could have moved their residence, or job over the summer. So, the long and short of it – every driver will be dealing with new traffic patterns, but old frustrations!
The best thing to do is get out of the house earlier than normal to avoid rushing carelessly and be on the bad side of a wrong driving decision that results in you being responsible for an automobile accident. Also, be aware of school buses as both North Carolina and South Carolina law puts heavy points on your drivers’ license if you pass a stopped school bus with its signal lights flashing and caution arm engaged. Be aware of any school bus stops in your neighborhood, and on your way to work, and remind yourself each morning to proceed with great care when passing them to make sure the kids get on their bus safely, and you get where you are going without an unwanted ticket, or tragedy.
On the road with you on your commute to work, or school will be new drivers that just got their licenses, drivers who have moved from other states, towns, or even countries, and even drivers travelling in a new part of town. Make sure you drive with caution and stay alert to drivers who may make sudden starts, or stops due to their not knowing their route of travel. It is always nice to let somebody in who is trying to merge! So go ahead, and let in that drive because at some point you will need someone to repay that favor to you. It is an exciting time of year filled with lots of new experiences, and driving safely and being courtesy will make it that much more enjoyable!
