Road safety training for children using real junior-sized cars
An idea from Finland.
It`s not surprising that children have so much fun practising and learning road safety with us: at any of the
road safety parks throughout Germany and Europe, children from the age of 7 upwards can drive real, environmentally friendly junior-sized cars, powered by real engines, just like the grown-ups on the roads.
The children operate the steering wheel, accelerator and brakes as they negotiate the course, where they learn to recognize and react to traffic lights and zebra crossings, get to know what the various road signs mean and gain a feeling for the flow of road traffic. They learn to recognize the hazards, to show consideration for others and to understand better how a traffic situation appears to a driver, which improves their safety awareness as pedestrians or cyclists.
training for millions of children
Of course there are no statistics to show how many accidents have been prevented since the first
road safety park was opened in 1989. But even if our work has saved only one child from having an accident, our efforts have been worthwhile. To date millions of delighted customers - children, adults, school classes and clubs - have visited the
road safety practice circuits.
