Make road safety lessons a mandatory part of the curriculum

Open for signatures 66 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to introduce road safety education as a mandatory part of the curriculum in all schools. This should include lessons on crossing safely, cycling awareness, and understanding road signs. The aim is to reduce accidents involving children and improve long term public safety.
Because many young people walk or travel to school every day, improving road safety education would help prevent accidents and save lives. Teaching these skills early creates safer habits for life and reduces pressure on emergency services.
