Middle High School Update
Two Wheels, One Road: Students Learn to Share It Safely
Students in ACS' driver education class participated in a presentation related to motorcycles and motorcycle safety. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in conjunction with the New York State Traffic Safety Committee fund this program for driver education programs across New York State to highlight safe practices in sharing the roadway with motorcycles.
The presenter shared personal stories as well as instructional videos to remind students about avoiding distracted driving and how to safely share the road. Junior Reaghan Ogorlozak shared, "I thought it was very touching to hear the difficult stories and important to learn that we are not the only ones on the road."
