Road concentration is essential to safe driving. A higher probability of accidents occurring happens the lower the level of driver road concentration.

Student Responsibilities

• Be on time to the school bus stop: wait for the bus back from the road: wait until the bus comes to a complete stop before moving towards it.
• Be respectful of the property of others at the bus stop.
