PSHE Quiz - Road Safety (Questions)

Road safety is knowing how to cross roads safely. Roads are very dangerous places and many people are killed on our roads each year. Learning some basic rules when crossing the road, such as Stop, Look and Listen, is extremely important and could even save your life.

There are so many distractions these days, such as personal music players, headphones and mobile phones; and yet these things can cause accidents.
