- First up, stop and stand back from the kerb. You don’t want to be too close to those speedy cars.
- Stay alert, I know it’s tempting to chat with your friends or listen to music, but that can distract you when you’re near roads.
- Look both ways – left, right, then left again. Make sure there are no cars coming.
- Use your ears too. Listen for any cars that might be sneaking up on you.
- And here’s the big one: you should stop, look, and listen every single time you cross the road. Yep, even at traffic lights, even when you’ve pressed the button and the green man is lit, and definitely when you’re crossing a driveway.
- Finally, no racing across the road! I know you might feel like doing a Usain Bolt dash sometimes, but save it for PE class, ok?
