Dangers on the route to School

by Bushtots

The show was all about keeping yourself safe on the way to school especially if you walk or ride your bicycle with your friends or brothers and/or sisters.

Bicycle Safety:

Always ride in single file.
Make sure that you are wearing the correct protective gear (helmets; elbow and kneed pads, etc.).
Wear reflective clothing

Pedestrian Safety:
Make sure that you do not walk alone. Always walk in pairs or in bigger groups.
Let a grown up know where you are at all times.
Always walk on the sidewalk and not on the road.
Always walk facing on-coming traffic
Wear clothing that is reflective to ensure that all road users can see you easily
Cross the road at pedestrian crossings or at traffic lights

Car Safety:
Always wear a seatbelt
Do not disturb the driver e.g. grabbing their arms or throwing things at them
Do not fiddle with the car doors especially whilst the car is in motion

Remember: Always keep expensive items like cellphones and i-pods out of sight. These attract unnecessary attention and will in all likelihood lead to you getting mugged.
