HMSI’s National Road Safety Awareness program made learning fun yet scientific through a host of events. HMSI conducted this event under the guidance of specially trained road safety instructors. The 5 to 10 years old children learnt about the do’s and don’ts while commuting on a school bus and cycling.
Furthermore, the 11 to 12 years olds learned how to ride their bicycle safely. They were also taught about their duties as a pillion on a two-wheeler and the importance of safety gear on roads. To make this learning more exciting and engaging, the kids got a hands-on learning experience on the specially imported CRF50 motorcycles.
Theory sessions covered topics like safety riding on road rules and regulations, road signs and markings, driver’s duties on the road, riding gear and posture explanation and safe riding etiquette. The school staff members who are already existing riders were tested through theoretical as well as practical training on a two-wheeler. HMSI also conducted fun educational activities like road safety quizzes.
