Believe it or not, we are already in BACK TO SCHOOL season. #DidYouKnow - In Virginia, passing a stopped school bus is illegal and considered reckless driving, a Class 1 misdemeanor. The base fine is $250, plus court costs. #stop

DRIVE SMART Virginia reposted this
I spent this morning at York County's Safety Town. It is a program that is in its 30th year for rising kindergarten students. It is simply amazing. Kudos to all the folks in York County that see the benefits of educating kids early about road safety. It is refreshing to see all the details, the supporting community partners, and the families that come together to put on this program. #Legendary
