As families across McAllen get ready for a new school year, our team at Brasure Law wants to help everyone travel safely. Whether your child walks, bikes, rides the bus, or gets dropped off, a few simple reminders can make a big difference.
Walking: Encourage kids to use sidewalks, cross at designated crosswalks, make eye contact with drivers before stepping forward, and walk with others when possible.
Biking: A properly fitted helmet is essential. Students should ride with traffic, come to a full stop before crossing, and choose routes with fewer intersections.
Bus riders: Standing at least 6 feet from the curb, waiting for a complete stop before boarding, and making eye contact with the driver before crossing can help avoid preventable risks.
Parent drop-off: Follow your school’s posted procedures, respect reduced speeds in school zones, and never pass a stopped school bus.
Teen drivers: Remind them to buckle up, stay distraction-free, and follow posted speed limits.
We hope these tips help your family start the school year with confidence. If you ever need guidance or support with a legal matter, our team is here to help.
