In most places across the country, school is in full swing, which means many parents are now tasked with driving their kids there each morning. With so many trips in the near future, it would behoove motorists to refresh their memory when it comes to car safety, and CBS News recently shared a few tips from Cooper Tire.<\/p>\n

Although tires are arguably the most important part of the car, their upkeep can sometimes go overlooked. Before settling into a fall school routine, Cooper Tire told the news source that you should check a few things – namely the treads. To check the treads, experts recommend using a penny to test the depth. If the top of Lincoln<\/a>'s head is covered then there is an acceptable amount.<\/p>\n

Along with the treads, you should be sure to check your tire's air pressure as well. The level should be checked when the tires are cool, and while it may differ from car-to-car, around 30 pounds per square inch is the usual acceptable level.<\/p>\n

Finally, CBS offers up a few common sense reminders to keep kids safe in the car. For example avoiding texting or talking on a phone is a must, and obeying the speed limit is especially important with children on board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
