Ol’ Blue USA’s “Big Wheels, Little Kids”© Program Rocks in Rockfield Kentucky

With a remarkable gathering of close to 560 students watching, Ol’ Blue, USA began setting up for the Big Wheels, Little Kids Program at Rockfield Elementary School. Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement, Warren County Community Services, and Warren Kentucky Sheriffs Department hosted the event.

In the picture below, the Sheriff’s car is 33 feet from ‘Ol’ Blue’s front bumper before you can see the cars “brake lights.” The Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement car on the left side of ‘Ol’ Blue’ is in what is called the “blind spot” and can only be seen in ‘Ol’ Blue’s little 5” mirror.

While RJ Taylor was giving instruction to the students on the blind spots around big rigs and other large vehicles, Mr. Damon Tabor, the Principal of Rockfield Elementary School, seemed to run for cover as one of the teachers, Ms. Renick, got behind the wheel of ‘Ol’ Blue’, pretending to drive while assisting RJ with instruction to the students.

Assisting with the “Big Wheels, Little Kids” Program were:
Deputy Tim Ausbrooks with Warren County Sheriff’s Department
Officer George Offutt with Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement
Ms. Beverly Steele, Asst. Coordinator with Warren County Community Services

Under the Ol’ Blue, USA program, “Big Wheels, Little Kids” school visitation program takes ‘Ol’ Blue’ to schools to give students an up close and personal view of the safety considerations around large vehicles, car drivers, bicycles, and pedestrians.
