Florida roadways are extremely dangerous, especially for children being transported along these roadways. Drivers need to be extremely aware of their surroundings on populated roadways. Many of Florida’s highways are congested and have a high amount of incoming and exiting traffic. Florida drivers should be aware of busy intersections, stay alert, use their safety belts and ensure proper child restraint is being used for all child passengers.
