Children in Traffic: Learning by Example (1/8)

Four out of ten children and teenagers who die from injuries are killed by cars or other vehicles. According to the World Health Organization, more than 260,000 children and teenagers under the age of 19 died in road traffic crashes in 2004.

Children’s behaviour in traffic is influenced at an early age. Teaching them safety and traffic rules, making them wear a helmet, and leading by example might save your kid’s life. (Picture: Reuters)
