Heads up, drivers: Minnesota law on stopping for school buses has changed. You must now stop at least 20 feet from the bus whenever the red lights are flashing. The stop arm does not have to be extended. This update closes a loophole where drivers previously may have tried to “beat the arm” when passing a bus — a risky move that puts children in danger.

Slowing down and adding that extra caution will help make sure every child can travel to and from school safely.

Not wearing a seat belt? That’s a tragedy waiting to happen. Extra law enforcement is on the roads in Minnesota to prevent unbelted people from making the next crash headline.

Going out for some extreme sports? Great — have fun. Keep the adrenaline rush on the trail, not on the road.

Wear a seat belt and follow the speed limit. Keep yourself and others safe on the road.

Buckle up! Drive smart!
