Cashion BPA learns car safety

On Tuesday, Dec 16, the Cashion High School Chapter of the Business Professionals of America, in conjunction with the CPS Maintenance Department, held a Car Safety Clinic. Students learned how to measure tire tread, check tire pressure, use an air compressor, connect battery cables and check oil and washer fluid levels. In addition to learning how to understand the lights on the dashboard and automotive codes, students learned about seatbelt safety and driving safely on dirt roads and icy streets.
