Why teach road safety?

On average more than 500 under 18’s die on the world’s roads each day. Road crashes are the biggest killer of young people in every world region.

Road safety is vital for children and young people. It is never too early to teach them about basic safety skills. In particular, children are at risk because:

  • They are smaller so find it harder to see, and be seen by, drivers.
  • They are less able to recognise dangerous situations and lack the maturity to make good decisions about safe behaviour.
  • They are physically smaller and so are more likely to be hurt by an impact.

Educators can protect children by teaching them life-saving messages and skills. Making young people aware of the risks and providing them with strategies to remain safe are important parts of their development.

Road Safety is a great subject for engaging children and young people. Even the youngest child will know something about it, because everyone uses roads and road safety impacts everyone.
