Children’s safety must be a priority on the roads

Cape Town -

MasterDrive managing director Eugene Herbert said: “As South Africa settles into its new normal, more emphasis needs to be placed on ensuring the safety of schoolchildren on the roads. The majority of children need to make their way to school by walking, cycling or using public transport, so it is essential that not only authorities but drivers themselves do their part in making sure a child does not face danger just by going to school.

“Drivers need to obey the regulation and exert extra caution when they see schoolchildren on the road.” “It is we who must take ownership of the problem and change the way we use the roads and perceive pedestrians and other road users. Especially our children.”
