Around 5,000 children under the age of 16 die or are seriously injured on Britain's roads each year.
Britain has one of the best road safety records in the world for both adults and children. But despite this, children on foot are more likely to be killed in Britain than in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain or Sweden.
Pre-school children are least at risk of death or injury on the road. One reason is the almost universal use of car seats for the very young.
Eighty per cent of accidents involving children occur during the school holidays, at weekends, and in the afternoon and evening on school days.
The “facts about road accidents and children” booklet aims to increase understanding of child traffic accidents among parents, teachers, elected officers, school governors and others interested in road safety. It aims to give the facts – to show how, when and where children have accidents.

Tells you all you need to know, doesn't it!

 

Around 5,000 children under the age of 16 die or are seriously injured on Britain's roads each year.

That's about 200 killed then.

Just slightly different than the 5000 headline figure.

Britain has one of the best road safety records in the world for both adults and children. But despite this, children on foot are more likely to be killed in Britain than in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain or Sweden.

So, let me see.

We have one of the best safety records in the whole wide world.

Actually, we have, or at least had, the best, or possibly joint best with Sweden, road safety record.

So how has that come about?

Because we have the most dangerous drivers?

Or the safest?

 

Obviously the safest.

So, we have the safest drivers in the world.

But, despite having the safest drivers in the world.

We still manage to have the worst child pedestrian fatality figures in Europe.

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Why might that be?

A really tricky one that.

NOT!

 

It's because we have the most dangerous child pedestrians.

And who trains the child pedestrians?

The anti-car brigade.

 

They, and they alone, are responsible for child fatalities.

 

May your shit come to life and kiss you on the face.

But Bogush if you bothered to read the post you would see the leaflet is aimed at teachers.

And?

 

Bogush how can you possibly say that? Frank Zappa was right, but too late - youve obviously been kissing so much sh*t already that its poisoned your blood and your mind.

I think it is clear that nutter road maniacs like you are the ones killing the children. Your soul will burn for eternity.
