Many children are going back to school soon, which could mean many new teenagers on roads, driving through school zones. In school zones the speed limits drop drastically, in hopes that drivers will slow down and honor the school zones.
You might wonder why there are school zones. Schools zones exist to help protect the students at the schools and parents walking their children to and from school. School zones are there for the safety of the children and a good way to enforce for drivers to slow down.
With school back in session, school zones are not implemented again and drivers must be aware when they are driving through a school zone, so they do not hit a pedestrian.
Texting and driving is a serious problem in our country and can cause great harm yourself as well as other drivers. Teenagers must understand the danger that they can cause when texting while driving in a school zone. In many states this is illegal but the law has not stopped people from doing this horrible activity.
