As another summer draws to a close and teachers everywhere look forward to getting back to the daily grind, we, the motoring public, have to remember to be extra vigilant. 
For back to school means kids of all ages heading in all directions. From walkers to bikers to teenagers trying to rub the sleep out of their eyes as they drive to school, it is busy world out there. Keep your eyes open and please be alert. Kids in new routines are often not paying attention themselves as they work out their new patterns on the way to school so it’s up to us.
The main things to look out for are kids at or near intersections, those walking or biking close to the side of a road. Kids out in the early hours without bright colored clothes on, teenagers running late on the way to school or anxious to get home or to a sporting practice after school.
This time of year produces a lot more activity then during the summer months when they are usually near home. So keep on the lookout for those not looking. It takes a village to get a kid to school safely!
