So the 101 in road safety is , ALWAYS check left and right, liston then repeat, when you can, ALWAYS cross at a crossing because the people who are in cars expect you to cross at a crossing and are on the lookout . If you are cycling by yourself know the safest route, if you don't maybe you aren't ready to go there by yourself.
Even if your parent is telling you to just cross the road you should cross at the crossing ( if there is one )
Be careful when you are cycling on the footpath cars could back out from driveways , people are walking on there , you don't want to crash into them ! And last of all , cars that are parked along the side of the foot path they could open a door and smack into you so look out for them by looking in the windows while you are cycling past
So, lets go though what we have talked about ,
1. ALWAYS check left and right, liston then repeat
2. When you can, ALWAYS cross at the crossing because the people who are in the car expect you to cross at the crossing and are on the lookout
3. If you are cycling on your own know the safest route, if you don't maybe you are not ready to go there by yourself
4. Even if your parent is telling you to just cross the road you should cross at the crossing ( if there is one )
5. Watch out for cars backing out of their driveways
6. Watch out for people on the footpath
7. Watch out for cars parked along the side of the foot path ( see how to watch out for them on the 2nd paragraph )
