As we wrap up Teen Driver Safety Week in Minnesota….

At Hot Seat Driving School, we know how exciting it is to get that license! With that new freedom comes responsibility. Here are a few reminders for teens and parents:

🌙 Late-night driving: For the first six months with a provisional license, driving between midnight and 5 a.m. is restricted, with limited exceptions.

👥 Friends in the car: During the first six months, only one passenger under age 20 who isn’t immediate family is allowed. During the second six months, that increases to three.

📵 Phones away: Drivers with an instruction permit or provisional license cannot use a phone while driving—even hands-free. The exception is an emergency call to 911.

🔒 Buckle up, every ride: Every driver. Every passenger. Every time.

❤️ Parents, you make a difference! Keep talking about safe driving, set a good example, and help your teen build habits that will stay with them for life.

We love helping new drivers earn their independence—and we want every one of them to make it home safely!

🚨 MOVE OVER. SOMEONE’S COUNTING ON THEM COMING HOME. 🚨

Today is National Move Over Day! At Hot Seat Driving School, we remind drivers that a little extra space can make a lifesaving difference.

When approaching flashing lights or a stopped vehicle on the roadside:

🚗 Stay alert and check traffic around you.
↔️ Move over a lane when it’s safe.
⚠️ If you can’t safely move over, slow down and pass with extra caution.

First responders, tow truck operators, road crews, and stranded drivers all deserve room to stay safe.

Make it a habit—today and every day.

🍂 Fall is here, and the sun is setting earlier. That means more of us are driving, walking, and biking when visibility is low.

At Hot Seat Driving School, we remind our students to slow down and look carefully for pedestrians, especially near intersections, schools, and neighborhoods. Take an extra moment before turning or backing out of a driveway.

If you’re walking, use sidewalks and marked crossings when available. Wear something bright or reflective when it’s dark, and make sure drivers see you before you cross.

A few extra seconds of attention can help everyone get home safely.

It’s Child Passenger Safety Week!

September 20–26 is dedicated to reminding parents and caregivers that the right car seat—properly installed—can make all the difference in protecting a child.

Take a few minutes this week to check:

✅ Is your child in the correct seat for their age, height and weight?
✅ Is the seat installed tightly and correctly?
✅ Are the harness straps positioned and secured properly?
✅ Has the seat expired or been involved in a crash?

Saturday, September 26, is National Seat Check Saturday, making this the perfect time to have your child’s car seat professionally checked.

At Hot Seat Driving School, we believe safe driving includes protecting every passenger—especially the littlest ones!

Fall arrives today! 🚗🍂

SCHOOL IS BACK — PLEASE SLOW DOWN & STAY ALERT!

With students heading back to school, please be extra observant on the roads. Watch for kids walking, biking, crossing streets, and getting on and off school buses. A few extra seconds of patience can make all the difference.

⚠️ And remember Minnesota’s NEW school bus law!

🔴 If a school bus’s RED LIGHTS are flashing, YOU MUST STOP — even if the stop arm has not fully extended yet.

Drivers must stop at least 20 feet away and remain stopped until the red lights are no longer flashing.

Please don’t try to “beat” the stop arm. Those flashing lights mean children may be entering the roadway.

School buses carry some pretty important cargo.

Slow down. Pay attention. Give buses space. Keep our kids safe.
