daylight or dust. This material
makes you shine and you are seen, which can save your life.

driver or you should
wear light colour clothes which makes you visible in the night.

senior citizens, women.

and while approaching school. Light are important. Use them at night.
Pedestrians : Be
Bright – it makes Tense

very careful you might be walking to a dangerous area. Wear reflective or white
clothes at night. Old or young, let others know you’re there, cross only on
zebra crossings, sub-ways, over bridges.

are most vulnerable road-user to an accident. Be wise, survive.. at roundabouts
road junctions and where cycle tracks are not available be safe, be seen. Get
something fluorescent for day time wear – reflective for night. Prepare for
the road : check your cycle brakes, reflectors, headlights, tyre pressure, chain
before you set off !

the Unexpected
Most
of the accidents in which Motor cyclist are involved happen at intersections. It
happens because someone doesn’t see you or there is oil-spill water clogging
