Road Safety Week Day 2

Sneaky Driveways, Car Parks, Car seats and Seatbelts

Constable Taina explained to us that sneaky driveways are driveways where we can't see up the driveway.  This could be because of the high solid fence or hedges.  If we are walking along the footpath, she told us to slow down and look at the driveway for cars that might be reversing.

Car parks are another dangerous place with cars and people walking, sharing the car park.  She told us to watch out for cars that might be reversing or driving in the car park.  We have to look for the white lights at the back of the car to check if it is reversing.  We should only walk past a reversing car if the driver says so.

To keep safe in the car, we should always put our seatbelts on and make it 'click'.  The law says that children who are 7 years old or younger should always sit in a car seat.

Belts On,

Phones Off,

Make it a habit.
