Road Safety

The facts

  • In 2007 on average 37 children under 16 were killed or seriously injured every week on roads in Great Britain
  • Most children under 9 can't judge how fast vehicles are going or how far away they are

The risk of a child pedestrian being involved in a road accident rises when they start school and then rises again when children start secondary school.

  • Traffic is the biggest single cause of accidental death for 12 to 16-year-olds.

Research found that 62 per cent of teenagers admitted to being distracted by talking to friends while crossing the road.
