DID YOU KNOW? Review safety rules with your kids before traveling If your family goes on a trip this summer, chances are your children will be spending a lot of time on the road. It’s important to keep safety a priority even as you take a break from your everyday lives! Remind your children to stay buckled in the car, and to always be alert when taking bathroom and food breaks. Use the buddy system, or break into small groups, to keep everyone safe while you’re traveling. For more information and tips, visit: http://www.ots.ca.gov/OTS_and_Traffic_Safety/Traffic_Safety_Tips/summer_driving_tips.asp

¿SABÍA USTED?

Recuerde a sus hijos que deben permanecer sentados y con el cinturón abrochado y estar siempre alertos cuando toman descansos para usar el baño o comer. Para mantener la seguridad de todos mientras están de viaje, asegura que los niños siempre están con un compañero o parte de un grupo.
