Cartoon safety character Skooter joins Sean O’Brien and Cara McColgan from Forge Integrated Primary School, south Belfast to remind other school children to take extra care on their bikes as daylight hours shorten and winter approaches.
The ‘Be Seen, Be Safe’ message is being promoted by DOE and
Centra as part of their Cycling Proficiency Scheme campaign and aims to
improve childrens’ road safety after the clocks go back an hour
on Sunday October 26.
The partners are reminding children to wear high visibility
clothing, reflective belts, as well as lights and reflectors
on their bikes to be seen clearly on dark nights.
Taking part on behalf of DOE is Carol Wilkinson, manager of the Road Safety Education Officer Service, left, and Collette Floyd from Centra Ormeau Road, representing Cycling Proficiency Scheme sponsor Centra.
