Back to School Safety Driving Tips for First-Time Car Buyers

A new school year brings eager students donned in freshly worn school clothes. It also brings congested roads from loaded school buses to parent and teen drivers.

If you’re a first-time driver or car buyer who’s fairly new to the road, here are a few important safety rules and tips for safely sharing the road during the busy Back to School season:

 

• Always remain alert when driving, especially in school zones and residential areas where students may be walking.


• Never pass a bus if you're on an undivided road, especially when it is stopped to load or unload students.


• Be careful when riding behind bike riders and watch for those turning in front of you without looking or signaling; children especially have a tendency to do this, according to the National Safety Council.

Perhaps you’re heading back to school and are currently in the market to purchase a vehicle. If you have bad credit or no credit and need to get approved for auto financing, a dealer enrolled in the Credit Acceptance auto finance program can help you start your credit approval today.
