As students across North Dakota are preparing for the start of the school year, AAA reminds motorists to be aware of increased child pedestrian activity and traffic congestion.

With the sun setting earlier each day across North Dakota, AAA and the North Dakota Department of Transportation are reminding teens of the state’s night driving provision.

Motorists in North Dakota and across the country are paying less at the pump as gas prices continue to move lower.

The price of gas in North Dakota slipped slightly last week but remains six cents above the statewide average of one month ago. Meanwhile, the national average fell two cents last week and is four cents lower than one month ago.

AAA is advising North Dakota motorists heading to -- or traveling through -- Minnesota of a new law which went into effect today. With the enactment of the new “hands-free” cell phone law, Minnesota joins 19 other states in an effort to prevent deadly distracted driving crashes by banning the use of hand held cell phones when operating a motor vehicle. 

New in-vehicle infotainment technology has the potential to increase comfort and extend mobility for older drivers, but first it has to stop distracting them.
