About 30,000 students in the Mount Diablo Unified School District will head back to school on Thursday, Aug.10.
Drive safely, watch out for the little ones crossing the road, and always plan for enough time to make it safely to your destination.
Good luck to all the students. Hope you have a very successful year!
Yes, will drive extra safe!!
And….it will be nice to have the buggers back in school and gone from the public spaces!
The world belongs to us grown-ups again🤣
I’m not sure this matters to most, I don’t drive any differently that they are back in school.
What we need to watch out for is the crazy parents that are dropping and picking their kids up at school..that is the new danger back out there not the kids themselves. I mean come on there’s nothing more scary out there than at 8:30 in the morning Mom without makeup on in their jammies that will cause a wreck easier than anything else. Haha
I used to walk to school every day … Concord Blvd to Pine Hollow … what ever happened to walking!!!???
No wonder childhood obesity is rampant … sighAF
Maybe you might want to drive safe all the time and try to use that little lever on the left side of your steering column to let other drivers know where the hell you are going to turn.
@Lou
That magical lever also doesn’t mean that when it gets activated will immediately make other cars open up a space for user of it to move in to.
No, they punch it and close whatever gap there is to make sure the driver can’t change lanes. Especially on YVR.
Yes, I use my blinker before making a lane change, but when I do, I’m announcing what I will be doing and not asking permission.
Great. Now the neighborhood can be terrorized several times per day by crazed parents in a rush to get their brats to/from school.
Highlands Elementary and Pine Hollow Middle School parents: Michigan Boulevard is a residential 25 MPH street! There are many toddlers and small children that live on this street. Your 35 and 40 MPH rush to drop your kids off, and after for you to get to work on time is not appreciated.
A horse at full gallop is what 35 mph. ?
@ PESFG
You said

Your the one that saddled that bronc. are you sure you want to ride it ? What happened to common courtesy ?
@Lou
Courtesy is alive and well, thanks for asking. But, if you expect cars to make space within an inch of space while the driver who you are trying to cut in front of can’t stop on a dime because someone is tailgating. Well, I guess an accident should happen so you can merge in at the last minute. If an accident happens, let the cops or insurance decide who was in the wrong, and don’t forget there are cameras everywhere.
Or, you are one of those who turn the blinker light AFTER having merged?. Funny how I frequently catch up to, or pass, the lane weavers while they wait at the light.
Most people are saying that parents are crazy drivers, but women are who, most of the time, pick up and drop off the kids at school, soooo…
