On Episode #3 you’ll hear from students who observed drivers turning into the wrong lane, changing lanes at the wrong time and a dad who thinks everyone on the road is an idiot.
The DriveSafeRideSafe Team has created this podcast in hopes that we can help parents and students learn from other people’s success or failure on today’s chaotic roads.
The DriveSafeRideSafe courses include enrichment activities that our students need to do with their parents throughout the course. Each enrichment is used to teach students about real life driving situations. Students and parents must perform and send us their observations.
In each episode we choose the best of the student observations to share and learn together. We hope you like it, as we are here to help.
Please email us your thoughts or your own driver observations or stories to drivesaferidesafe@gmail.com
Until next time, remember to: Drive Safe and Ride Safe!
This is episode #3 of Throwing Your Parents under the bus podcast. Thanks for joining us!

I’m with a county sheriffs office. One of our SRO’s stopped a parent in the car pick up line at his assigned school / post. The parent had a young child in the back seat with no car seat. To the deputy’s credit, he turned the stop into a learning experience. Yes, he issued a citation.
However, he would not let the woman leave until a loaner car seat was installed and the minor child seat buckled in. How the SRO handled the citizen encounter was admirable. He called for another SRO to bring a car seat from the spare’s we had at the office and showed the parent/woman driver how to secure the seat. When was the last time anyone expressed their thanks for a citation? The woman drove directly to a store and purchased a seat, returning the loaner.
Law enforcement does not issue citations to meet quotas (which are illegal), Our deputy was recognized at muster for his good service,

Ken,
