[quote=Anonymous]OP - What you term as a moderately heavy road traffic up in the DC area is quite open to interpretation. I would also suggest that you or DH find a way to observe your son riding to school to see how he actually does if this is possible. It is best to have a hard and fast rule with a youngster because he is likely to be rushing to school or home from school and not so aware of weather conditions or changing light conditions as daylight savings end. Moms and Dads it is important to teach safety rules for all things and be consistent not if, and or when. What I also see a lot of is skate boarding in middle school and teen boys with no helmet which to me is incredulous. We live in a college town and the number of students and adults riding around town without helmets, vests or proper lights is astounding. [b]As a driver of a car, the onus is put on us not to hit you, but bikers need to observe all of the safety rules of the road, too.[/b][/quote]
