Back to School, Back to Traffic: How to Stay Safe on Florida Roads This Fall 

School’s already back in session—which means so is the chaos on Florida roads.
You’re dodging buses, weaving around carpool lanes, and wondering why every single person on the highway forgot how to drive over the summer. 

Yep, fall traffic is officially here. And whether you’re a stressed-out parent, a college commuter, or just someone trying to survive the morning drive-thru line without getting rear-ended, this season comes with a higher risk of car accidents.

Here’s how to stay safe—and what to do if you end up banged up before your second cup of coffee.

Florida Fall = Peak Road Mayhem

Let’s break it down. Fall driving in Florida is messy because:

• School zones are back. Aka: flashing lights, sudden stops, and the fear of a speeding ticket you didn’t budget for.
  
• More kids + more crosswalks. Half of them are on scooters. The other half? On their phones.
  
• College students. Some are brand new to driving. Others are in a rush to make their 8 a.m. class. Neither is ideal.
  
• Rainy mornings + foggy windshields = slippery roads and surprise fender benders.
  

The point is: even if you’re the best driver in the state (and we know you are), accidents can still happen.

You Got Hit. Now What?

So you’re sitting in traffic, sipping your iced coffee, and boom—someone taps your bumper.
Now your neck hurts and your to-do list just got way longer.

Here’s what you actually need to do:

1. Move to safety and call 911.
   
2. Take photos of the scene, damage, and any injuries.
   
3. Get medical help ASAP—even if you feel “fine.”
   
4. Call 1-800-411-PAIN for help connecting with medical professionals who understand accident injuries.
