ROAD SAFETY

Essay on Road Safety for kids

          Every day many people are involved in road accidents. Some are killed. Much more are injured or maimed. So it is important for us to learn to use the roads properly and safely. No sane person would like to be involved in an accident.

         As the roads are very busy nowadays, we should be very careful when crossing one. It is safer to use a pedestrian crossing or an overhead bridge whenever one is available. Never cross a road by dashing across it, That is inviting trouble. If there are no crossings then we must look carefully right and left and cross only when it is safe to do so.

        Some of us take the bus to school. It is important that we do not try to get on or off a bus while it is moving. I tried to get on a moving bus once. It dragged me a short distance and nearly ran over me. I was lucky to escape with only some scratches on my legs. Also, we must not fool around while in the bus. A suddenly lurch can send us knocking our head against something hard.

       Using a bicycle can be dangerous too. We must pay attention to the road and never cycle too far out to the middle of the road. We must obey all traffic rules. Also, we must make sure our bicycles are in good condition with working brakes, lights etc.

  

        These are some things we can do to avoid accidents. However, there is no guarantee that we will never be involved in one. The important thing is to stay alert at all times while using the roads. We must know what is happening around us. In that way, we can take necessary action to avoid danger whenever we see one. Road safety is very much up to how we use the rods. Use them carefully and we may be able to use them for a long time. Use them carelessly and we may never be able to use them again.
