PPSHS Road Safety

What is the best way to cross the road after you get off the school bus?

• Cross in front of the bus so the driver can see you

• Cross behind the bus only when it is safe to do so

• Wait for the bus to drive off so you have a clearer view of both lanes of traffic

It's best to use a nature strip than to walk on the road

• Only when there is no footpath

• Only when there is a large group of people walking

• Only during the day

As a cyclist you must wear a helmet

• the cops have better things to do so you can get away with not wearing one

• You have to wear it but you don't need to fasten it because that's lame

• always correctly wear a helmet because heroes wear helmets

Cyclists must:

• On a shared path ride on the left side of a footpath and ring your bell if people are in the way

• all of the above
