Did you know? Eleven year old pedestrians are three times as likely to be hurt or seriously injured going to school than 10-year olds because it is the age when they get their first mobile phone, research has found. A spike in casualties has emerged from an analysis of road casualty figures, which showed a link between risk and mobile phone distraction. This very important AND relatively new Road Safety issue isn’t going to go away. If you are a parent, aunt, uncle, grandparent, carer, or teacher help us spread the word and keep our kids safe http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/10125402/First-mobile-phone-threatens-young-pedestrians.html
