New road safety campaign presented


"Everything together usually causes scars!" Is the motto of this year's road safety campaign, which the German-speaking community is carrying out together with the police and other partners.

In the context of the broad-based action, which primarily aims to raise awareness of the dangers of the school route, information material on road safety is handed out to all primary school pupils in the German-speaking Community, among others; All first graders will also receive reflective clothing with the logo of the campaign, which made of reflective heat transfer vinyl. The motto is that you should plan the day conscientiously. Instead of doing everything at once, said Prime Minister Oliver Peach on Tuesday morning at the presentation at his seat. The head of government acts again as the patron of the action.

At the beginning of the school year, the DG Government and the heads of the two German-speaking police zones Weser and Eifel, Daniel Kitten and René, called on all road users to pay particular attention to ABC shooters. Elementary school children could not yet estimate the distances and speed of vehicles correctly. Therefore, special care should be taken. There were no accidents close to the school in East Belgium in the last school year but on the way to school.
