Kid Safety Plan

The Teachers’ Insurance Plan of NJ has decided to work with several other groups to try and keep kids alive. The state of NJ has started a statewide initiative to try and keep kids from getting into accidents while operating motor vehicles. The initiative will discuss ways that they can play it safe in the state.

The initiative was launched this past June by High Point Auto Insurance, and with the addition of the teachers’ auto insurance group they also get the sponsorship of Keep Kids Alive Drive 25 tour that will be going around to the high schools in the state.

From October 28th through November 1st, various high schools will be visited and the tour will show how speeding in residential neighborhoods will end in pedestrian and death. They are enticing local residents, law enforcement agencies, and their communities to join with them to get the word out about safety practices.

They want it to be known that not only is it the right thing to do, but it will also save you money on your auto insurance. For every accident or speeding ticket you or your teen gets, your car insurance rates will go up – which could be the thing to get many to listen that otherwise would not.

This is just the beginning of the auto insurance sweep; they are going to be running various information sessions throughout the year to get the word out. Their first visits will be to Colts Neck High School in Freehold, NJ; Northfield Community Middle School in Northfield, NJ; Hamilton/Yardville, place to be announced; and the Anthony Henry Memorial Scholarship Dinner also in Yardville.
