1. Make sure you and everyone in the car are buckled up correctly. Be careful to adjust car seats correctly!<\/p>\n

2. Adjust your mirrors before you move!<\/p>\n

3. Be very careful when backing up. Walk around the car first.<\/p>\n

4. Parking lots are dangerous, many accidents happen in parking lots!<\/p>\n

5. Observe all road signs, come to a full stop at every stop sign and red light. NO EXCEPTIONS EVER!<\/p>\n

6. Be aware of the other drivers, not everyone is a good driver and they might do something unexpected!<\/p>\n

7. Leave the music alone, do not adjust the radio while you are driving.<\/p>\n

8. Do not talk on your cell or text while driving \u2013 It is dangerous and against the law!!!<\/p>\n

9. NO DRINKING and DRIVING ever! No open alcohol in a car because you can be arrested just for having it in the car.<\/p>\n

10. Do not take any risks when driving. Yellow lights mean prepare to stop!!<\/p>\n

11. Keep the car neat and tidy.<\/p>\n

12. Do not run out of gas, keep the tank half full all the time.<\/p>\n

13. Windshield wipers and lights must be on if it is raining or snowing, this is the law in New York State.<\/p>\n

14. No rowdy passengers, pay attention to the road.<\/p>\n

15. In a school zone the speed limit is no more than 20 miles per hour. BE CAREFUL, kids run out in front of cars & buses.<\/p>\n

16. DO NOT PASS a stopped school bus from either direction when it has its stop signs out. When a bus has the lights flashing, it is about to stop.<\/p>\n

17. DRIVE DEFENSIVELY ALWAYS<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
