Passenger rules for Road Safety

Gold Wolf - Aptitude Challenge - Road Safety Demonstrate safety on the road as a cyclist OR safety as a passenger in a vehicle.

Safety when travelling in a vehicle

• Buckle up every time, every ride, even on a short trip. Most accidents happen close to home.

• Do not share seat belts with another child.

• Make sure the vehicle seat is upright. Seat belts will not work properly if the seat back is reclined.

• Do not place the shoulder belt under your arms or behind your back.

• Listen when told to put on your seat belt.

• Do not shout and scream in the car, as you will distract the driver.

• Do not play around in the car, as you will distract the driver.

• Do not put your arms, legs or head out of the window of the car while it is moving.

• Wait until the car is safely stopped before opening the door. Open the door on the pavement side, not the door on the traffic side.
