Whether one’s attending their first class or they’re enrolled in a university graduate program, back to school has arrived. Here are some helpful tips for all types of drivers:
Young Drivers
If a youthful driver is just getting started with a school permit or they have obtained their own driver’s license – remember to add them to your auto insurance policy.
Don’t forget about potential discounts:
- Good Student Discount: Getting into a good college typically requires good grades. Well, the benefits may not stop there. Some insurance companies offer good student discounts to students with higher, qualified GPA’s.
- Driver’s Training Discount: Having taken a certified driver’s training program may qualify a young driver for this discount.
Not all insurance companies offer these discounts, so it’s best to refer with your trusted insurance agent to see what discounts may be available!
Adult Drivers & Business Owners
School season doesn’t just affect the kids. As a parent, adult driver or business owner, we need to be on the look-out for safety at all times.
- Parents: Begin by instructing your school-aged youths in road safety – whether they are walking, riding a bicycle or driving to school.
- Drivers: Slowdown in school zones and watch for pedestrians on route to the classroom. Being aware of your surroundings whenever you drive. This is the first step towards making our streets a safer place. Many adults who no longer have school-bound children will focus on their safe driving skills by watching for children and obeying school zone speed limits.
Wherever this school year finds you, take time to be safe and enjoy your journey!
