Back to School Safety Tips for Drivers and Parents | Lubbock News

School’s back in session—and Texas drivers are getting a serious safety wake-up call. With kids flooding back to classrooms and bus stops, the Texas Department of Public Safety is urging everyone to slow down, stay focused, and treat school zones like high-risk zones. Chief Bryan Rippee of the Texas Highway Patrol stresses that every kid’s safety starts with responsible driving: no phones, no distractions, and obeying every stop sign and flashing bus light. Violations can lead to fines or even license suspension. Parents are also reminded to keep contact info current, teach kids emergency safety, and never let them ride with strangers. Plus, resources like the iWatch Texas app and the Texas School Safety Center are available to help keep everyone informed and prepared.
