In the run up to Christmas, Road Safety NI is reminding us to ‘be bright, be seen’ by drivers. At this time of year, pupils need to be particularly vigilant. Limited visibility during dark mornings and evenings, along with heavy traffic and the excitement surrounding the Christmas season, can increase the likelihood of serious, and sometimes fatal, accidents.
Even though cars have headlights they might not see you. Check our top tips to help you brighten up!
Dress Brightly
When you go out on a dark day or nearly night, wear colourful or fluorescent clothing so the cars can see you coming.
Wear reflective gear
Make sure you wear reflective gear or accessories, so the cars can see you in their headlights.
Customise your backpack
Another way to be seen is by customising your backpack with cool reflective zip clips and stickers.
