Officers of the Aviator Police Headquarters in Gimmicky and Mr. Milagros Boa organize joint actions to improve road safety. As part of organized meetings with the youngest road users, they familiarize participants with the rules of road safety and recall the obligation to wear reflective tapes.
Last Tuesday and Thursday, officers from the Aviator Police Headquarters in Gimmicky and Mr. Milagros Boa, who for many years participated in prevention to improve road safety, together visited students from Primary School No. 4 and Primary School No. 7 in Gimmicky. The meetings were aimed at familiarizing the students with the rules of proper road traffic, with particular emphasis on crossing the road, so that they would know how to safely navigate the roads and safely reach the destination.
The speakers talked with the children about crossing the road correctly, moving on it in the absence of pavement or roadside, keeping in places waiting for the arrival of buses. They reminded that cycling enthusiasts must remember that the use of a one-wheeler, in addition to undoubted pleasure, is a huge responsibility and regulations to which such drivers should adhere. The students learned about what elements the bike should be equipped with, and why the helmet should be used when driving.
During the meeting, whose aim was to pay special attention to the safety of pedestrians on the road, all children received reflective tapes. The organizers of the meeting encouraged students to wear reflective vests not only outside the built-up area, especially now when the gray days quickly pass into dark nights, and pedestrians in such conditions may be worse visible by drivers.
They pointed out that even a small reflective material makes us more visible on the road, and thus more secure. It was pointed out that it does not have to be a vest. A wristband or a jacket with a flared look will also work great.
During the lecture, the children showed great knowledge of traffic regulations and said they would wear reflective elements for their own safety.
Joint activities will take place cyclically.
