- Drive with your headlights on - even during the day - so children and other drivers can see you.
- Look for clues such as AAA School Safety Patrollers, bicycles and playgrounds that indicate children could be in the area.
- Scan between parked cars and other objects for signs of
children. - Practice extra caution in bad weather.
- Always stop for school buses that are loading or unloading students.
