FORUM THIS WEEK TOPIC: KEEPING YOURSELF SAFE DATE:

When crossing the street look both ways for and listen for a car. Always LISTEN, LOOK AND THEN WALK. Also if it is at night try to wear something bright, so the car can see you. If you are at a curve then walk a bit more up the street, and then cross the road, because most accident happen when crossing the road on a curve.

There are millions of cars around the world but it only takes one to hit you, stop, look and listen. Whenever crossing a road remember to take your earphones out and look both ways before crossing. When on a busy road look for a zebra crossing to cross Around 1,400 children aged 0–11 are killed or seriously injured on Britain’s roads every year. That’s almost 27 children every week.

If you are in a car, minibus or coach, you should always put a seatbelt on, because if the driver crashes, the seat belt will stop you from badly injured.

Train Safety When you come to a crossing, slow down, listen and look both ways before crossing the tracks. If a train is coming, stop at least five metres from the nearest rail or gate. Do not cross the track until you are sure the train or trains have passed. Never race a train to the crossing. Do not cross the track until you are sure the train or trains have passed. If there are signals, wait until they stop flashing and, if the crossing has a barrier, wait until it rises before you cross. Up to 60 people are killed on the railway every year by crossing the tracks, taking short cuts or playing chicken. Did you know…Trains can travel at 125 mph and take the length of 20 football pitches to stop. If you are in the way the train won’t stop - the driver will not see you until it’s too late.
