Road safety starts with you. At YOURS we believe in the following 10 commitments for road users.
I commit to:
- not use alcohol or drugs while taking part in traffic
- use a seatbelt, in the front and in the backseat of a car
- wear my helmet on a motorcycle
- drive at a safe speed and keep a safe distance suitable for the conditions
- not use a mobile phone while driving
- be visible as a pedestrian or cyclist
- keep my vehicle in a good condition
- know and respect the traffic rules
- be licensed and trained for the vehicle I drive
- know how to react in case of a crash
We need you to act as a rolemodel, you have a great influence on your direct environment. Please talk with your peers about the importance of road safety and reward good and discuss bad behaviour. You can make a difference, together we can safe millions of people.
You can also join the facebook page 10 Road Safety Commitments, initiated by the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crecent and show your are committed to road safety.
