Although operating a motor vehicle during the school year presents its own challenges because of school buses and crossing guards that require our special attention, for the most part, the workday and eve- ning commute is free from children in the streets. However, with the summer vacation season now upon us, children of all ages will be out and about and doing the things that kids do in the summer, which means there will be increased bicycle riding and pedestrian traffic. And, kids being kids, that often might mean playing in the street, darting out into the street to chase a loose ball, and hanging out after dark. What all of this means for those of us driving our cars during the summer is that we must be extra-vigilant and cautious and be attuned to the potential for young people chasing their balls or their dogs into the street without looking. Black Watchful and defensive driving is never more important than in the summer when pedestrian traffic is at its highest. Obeying all of the traffic laws, especially stopping for stop signs, obeying traffic lights, and yielding to pedestrians in cross-walks are of utmost priority.
