Making Urban Areas Child-Friendly - Did You Know

Children are within the greatest risk bracket of road related accidents becuase :

1. If they are not in a safety seat, they seldom wear seat belts because of their petit size.

2. Children tend to make up the majority of pedestrians, being too young for many other mode of independent travel, and thus run the greatest risk of being pedestrian victims of road accidents.

3. Children often ride pillion on motorcycles but almost never wear a helmet. In Malaysia, we do not have proper helmets for young kid nalthough the law stipulates that all persons riding on a motorcyles have to be wearing helmet at all times. It just too dangerous beb!

4. The greatest number of cyclist in Malaysia a school children, making them the majority at risk within the bicyclist category of road accident victims.
