If you are driving in Beijing and you come across a zebra crossing, don’t stop or even try to slow down because this will get you in trouble with the law. In Thailand, it is compulsory to wear a shirt while driving. Women who go topless while driving can be fined equal to a few hundred baht. In Cyprus, you should keep both hands on the wheel. Drivers who unnecessarily raise a hand from the steering wheel can get fines, although we think that making some gestures at bad drivers is sometimes good. Don’t yell or curse while you are driving in Rockville, Maryland, USA although you are right. It is illegal to curse in public. You have to pay a fine up to $100 or go to prison up to 10 days. Before you drive off with a car in Denmark, you must check that the children in your car have the best places. Maybe the reason is that they can read books by Hans Anderson. Drinking and driving is illegal in Spain, but in Macedonia, if you are drunk, you cannot sit in the front seats. True False 1. Use your car’s headlights 24 hours a day in Sweden. 2.

Top tips for pedestrian safety Teach your children to hold hands with an adult whenever they go out. Always use a zebra crossing when one is available and teach children that these are the safest places to cross. Teach children that it’s still important to stop, look and listen at a zebra crossing. Teach children always to stop at the kerb and look and listen for traffic (a third of children injured on roads said that they didn’t stop before stepping off the kerb and many said they didn’t look). Never use your mobile phone while crossing roads. Children learn to make decisions about crossing the road and parents gradually let them take a lead when you are crossing together. As children get older, practise routes with them before they walk alone. Top tips for cycling Always encourage children to wear a cycle helmet when they are on their bikes, and set a good example by wearing one yourself. Children need to be able to judge speed and distance accurately before they cycle on public roads. They need to take lessons on cycling in order to travel more widely on their bikes. Make sure children wear bright coloured clothing and fluorescent items whenever they are cycling on the road. And if they are cycling in the dark, they will need lights on their bikes and reflective items too. And of course, make sure you do this yourself, to set a good example. 1.
