| Description | Road accidents with child and adolescent participation form a tragic phenomenon that bears a casual relationship to the complexity of modern transportation systems. Accidents take place when one of the components of the traffic system fails. A frequent cause lies in a lack of necessary training on the part of the participants, which makes safe interaction in the traffic system rather impossible.Traffic safety education provides students with the necessary knowledge, skills and preffered behavioral patterns. |
