 | Time Change means Safety Reminders! |
 james writes "Bike Lights and Smoke Alarm Checks!
Boise, Oct. 29, 2009 - Boise Police and Boise firefighters are reminding folks with the
time change coming up this weekend, it's a good time for some safety reminders! Daylight Savings Time ends at 2:00 a.m., Sunday, Nov. 1st, meaning we all turn the clocks back one hour (fall back).
Bike Lights! Boise Police urge parents, if their child rides a bike to school, be sure the bike has a working headlight and rear reflector!
In Winter, students may be riding their bikes to school in the dark. Parents are urged to take the opportunity to talk to their children about bike safety, including wearing helmets and check or install working lights and rear reflectors. Lights and reflectors can be purchased at a number of discount or bike specialty shops. Headlights on bikes are a big help for cyclists to be seen by motorists!
Motorists are urged to be extra vigilant in the mornings near school zones. Boise Police will continue to patrol schools zones. Speeding in a school zone carries a fine of approx. $141.50.
Smoke Alarms! Boise Firefighters suggest using the time change to replace batteries in smoke alarms.
Firefighters consider smoke alarms to be the most effective low-cost way to prevent house and apartment fire fatalities by sounding an early warning signal.
For winter time fire prevention info, go to www.boisefire.org.
