Highway patrolman debunks popular driving myths BY ADRIENNE SARVIS [email protected]

any drivers may think Mthey know it all when it comes to the rules of the road, but what is true and what is legend can sometimes cross the yellow line. Before taking that road trip this sum- mer, it can’t hurt to brush up on traffic regulations to distinguish what is myth and, for example, find out once and for all if it’s really OK to treat the driver’s seat like your living room and kick off your shoes behind the wheel. South Carolina Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. David Jones, who has seen his fair share of traffic stops, took on some com- monly heard driving myths. IS IT ILLEGAL TO ... Drive barefoot or with flip-flops? No. Ride in the bed of a pickup truck? No, but the youngest passengers should have first access to the seatbelts. Back out of a driveway onto a public road? No, but it would be safer to pull out of the driveway. Wear headphones while driving? No, but it’s not a safe practice because you could miss audio cues from other drivers. Drive with the overhead light on? No, but it does not create a good driving environment. Eat while driving? No, but it can be a distraction. Splash people? No, it’s just a terrible thing to do to someone. OTHER QUESTIONS Who has to identify themselves during a traffic stop? Troopers are taught to identify themselves and say the reason for the stop, Jones said. Drivers are required by law to identify themselves during

‘Pirates!’ take over Kingsbury Elementary for spring musical

Kingsbury Elementary School saved the best PTA meeting for last. This year’s spring musical titled “Pirates!” was a show- stopper. The set was designed by art teacher Sylvester Hickmon and featured an enormous pirate ship that engulfed the entire stage. It included a deck with cannons, the Jolly Roger and even a brig and plank to walk. More than 60 children including singers and dancers performed for more than 35 minutes, enthralling the audience with their well-rehearsed lyrics and prose. The group is named the King’s Court Players, and they are under the direction of Alyssa Gibbs, Michelle Snyder and Ashley Summer. Libby Singleton from Miss Libby’s School of Dance once again returned to Kingsbury to collaborate with the troupe to choreograph the elite dances for each song.
