8 December 2003
The KwaZulu-Natal
Department of Transport, in its
continuing effort to reduce death and
injury on our roads, has compiled the
Road Safety Education website. Its main
intention is to help people develop a
better road sense - whether you are a
driver, pedestrian or passenger.
The
website has been divided into four
sections: the childhood years; the young
adult years; the senior years and a
general section. It covers subjects such
as teaching children road safety, road
rage, vehicle hijacking and what older
drivers should know. It is a sound base
of knowledge that teachers and parents
can also use to help develop sound road
sense in children.
The
website will be officially launched by
Minister S'bu Ndebele, MEC for Transport
in KwaZulu-Natal, as part of the
Department's 2003/2004 Summer Holiday
Road Safety Programme.
