Heads up, drivers: Minnesota law on stopping for school buses has changed. You must now stop at least 20 feet from the bus whenever the red lights are flashing. The stop arm does not have to be extended. This update closes a loophole where drivers previously may have tried to “beat the arm” when passing a bus — a risky move that puts children in danger.

Slowing down and adding that extra caution will help make sure every child can travel to and from school safely.

Not wearing a seat belt? That’s a tragedy waiting to happen. Extra law enforcement is on the roads in Minnesota to prevent unbelted people from making the next crash headline.

Going out for some extreme sports? Great — have fun. Keep the adrenaline rush on the trail, not on the road.

Wear a seat belt and follow the speed limit. Keep yourself and others safe on the road.

Choose the Right Car Seat!

The updated law is based on best-practice recommendations that encourage caregivers and parents to get the full use out of their child’s car seat by maxing out either the height limit or weight limit, whichever your child reaches first. It’s one of the safest things you can do to protect your child on the road.

Minnesota law requires every driver transporting a child under 18 years old to ensure the child is properly restrained in a car seat or seat belt.

Need another reason to slow down and stop whenever you see flashing red lights on a school bus?

How about a $500 fine?

The school bus stop-arm law has been updated. Effective immediately, if you see flashing red lights on a school bus, you must stop at least 20 feet away. The stop arm does not have to be extended.

It’s a simple step that helps keep kids safe.

It’s actually fine to put things off. When it comes to your phone and driving, it’s the right thing to do.

What can’t wait? Your seat belt. Wear it every ride, every time you get in your vehicle. Drive safe. Drive smart!

Ring, ring. What’s that? Your phone —and it can wait. Your seat belt can’t. Wear it every time you drive.
