The new school year is starting, be sure to review to help keep the children safe!
Please drive with care and watch out for children returning to school.
With kids starting back to school, do you know when to stop for a school bus? (THIS IS FOR OHIO-EACH STATE MAY DIFFER)
Straight from the Ohio's Drivers Handbook -
If the bus is stopped on a street or road which has fewer than four lanes, all traffic approaching the bus from either direction must stop at least 10 feet from the front or rear of the bus and remain stopped until the bus begins to move or the bus driver signals motorists to proceed.
* If the bus is stopped on a street or road which has four or more lanes, only traffic proceeding in the same direction as the bus must stop.
Lifeline is excited to announce it's newest program, the Are You OK Program.
