Tips & Advice

To stay safe on the road, follow the tips below:

• Always use the Green Gross Code; THINK, STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN, WAIT, LOOK AND LISTEN AGAIN, ARRIVE ALIVE!
• Always walk on the pavement or footpath where there is one.
• Never use a mobile phone or listen to music when near roads.
• Always wear a seat belt when travelling in a car – airbags are designed to work with seat belts – travel without a belt on and your airbag could cause serious injury or kill you.
• Check that younger brothers and sisters use an appropriate child or booster seat if they are younger than 12 years old and less than 135cm tall.
• If you’re a passenger in a car does the driver scare you? You have a right to travel safely in a car, if somebody is abusing that right, speak up or get out before it’s too late.
• Do the necessary training before riding your bike on the road.
• Always wear a cycle helmet when riding your bike.
• Wear fluorescent clothing during the day and reflective clothing at night when near roads.
• Never get in the car with someone who is under the influence of drink or drugs.
• If you are in the car with a speeding driver, ask them to slow down.
