September Safety: Back to School & Labor Day Traffic in the DMV

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Welcome to September! With Labor Day weekend wrapping up and school buses back on the road, our communities across Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia are back in full swing. This busy time of year also brings a unique set of challenges on the road.

At Lewis & Tompkins, we believe that the best legal representation starts with proactive knowledge. Here’s what you need to know to stay safe this month.

Back-to-School Safety: Watch Out for the Little Ones

With students heading back to classrooms, our roads are more populated with young drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. Please be extra vigilant in school zones and residential areas.

A quick reminder:

• Slow Down: The speed limit in school zones is for your safety and theirs.
• Stop for Buses: It’s the law. Never pass a stopped school bus with its lights flashing.
• Look Both Ways: Kids can be unpredictable. Always anticipate a child stepping out from behind a parked car.

Even the most careful drivers can be involved in an accident. If you are ever in an accident with a student or near a school, it’s a good idea to speak with a personal injury lawyer to protect your rights.
