Dear car driver,
at the point where you stop at 30 km / h just in front of me, when I suddenly
run onto the road, you have not braked at 50 km / h yet and you are driving
around - sure. Handbook with this text handed over 3500 primary schoolchildren
and nursery children in safety vest to the drivers of the so linger road
traffic on Friday morning.
A total of 20
primary schools and 37 day-care centers participated in the "See me?"
Between 7.45 and 8.15 they pointed out the situation of children on the road.
The posters "Down from the Gas" were also executed.
Teachers, parents
and police officers supported the action
The 240 children
of the elementary school were also up early on Friday. At the crossroads, they
had positioned themselves together with teachers, parents and police officers. In
the red phases at the traffic lights, they talked to the drivers, handed over
their notes - and experienced a lot of understanding. "The drivers were
all very nice and thanked the note and the information," said Anita (9)
from class 4a. She herself lives and in the morning she has two crossroads on
the way to the school. "But I always take good care," emphasized the
fourth-grader.
The school has
been taking part in the action at the beginning of the dark season for years.
"The older people already know it and are therefore well informed,"
Ann, speaker, emphasized. But all children were very committed and disciplined.
"We are also very pleased that many parents are supporting the campaign
again," said Headmaster Katharina Hoffmann. The primary schoolchildren
were, of course, equipped with bright warning reflective vest from the
ADAC, which the school distributed to the first years each year.
Katrina, police
transport officer, accompanied the action in the city center. "It is good
that we are doing here in Solingen, unlike in other cities, the action
concentrated in one morning. This is how no driver can get on the road to work
on the subject. "
Basically, the
respondents were very understanding. "When children are involved, the
reactions are usually always positive," says Gyrostat from experience.
Ernst, who had been traveling with his transporter early on Friday, also
expressed his thanks for the handout. "I think the action is great. But I
am sensitized anyway, because in my family all the educators are. "
"Light
clothing is the most important thing to look at children in the dark,"
explained Katrina, and regretted that reflectors are still partly found on children’s
reflective
jackets, but mostly not on clothing for adults. In other cases, adults
in road traffic are often a bad example for the children. "But after
actions like this, the children can then explain to their parents how they have
to behave properly in road traffic."
