AAA Foundation for Traffice Safety

One obligation that parents owe to their children is to keep them safe. Safe from hunger, from illness, from the weather, and from injury. As parents, we have to educate ourselves how to do that. After all, children don’t come with owner’s manuals (at least mine didn’t).

Today’s Family Site is one that can help educate all of us on the safety of driving our vehicles. Driving is a right, not a privilege, and with any right comes responsibility. In this case, it is knowing what to do when we get behind the wheel of the family vehicle. What do you do when you see an ambulance coming behind you with lights and sirens? What is the best location in your car for your child restraint device? What do you do when you see a bicyclist in the lane next to you? These, and other topics, are covered at this site. It touches on all aspects of vehicular safety, not only those relating to children.

So stop by here, and see what you may have forgotten since you started driving. We are all-human, and forget. And the laws do change. This site is an excellent beginning to help drivers such as you and I learn more about the responsibility of driving a car.
