Being safe

Road safety

Are you road sensible?

Whether you're walking to school, the shops or a friend's house, find out if you're a savvy Simon or a ditsy Davina.

Savvy Simon:

  • watches out and notices what's going on around him
  • makes sure he can be seen -wearing bright clothing in the daytime and a reflective armband at night
  • walks the safest route, not the shortest one.

Ditsy Davina:

  • sends text messages while crossing the road
  • can't always be bothered to wait for the green man - sometimes it takes ages
  • is usually in a rush and runs between the traffic.

Simon is so careful because one of his best friends was once knocked over by a car. Davina hasn't made a mistake yet. but could do with watching out and taking more care.

BE A SAVVY SIMON, NOT A DITSY DAVINA!
