Students from various schools in the western suburbs took a pledge to follow the traffic rules and create awareness amongst their families, friends and neighbours on the dangers of not doing so at a Road Safety Seminar organized by Rotary Club of Bombay West in association with Giants International, Rotaract Club of N.M.College and Rotaract Club of Mithibai College at Rotary Service Centre, Santacruz West on Wednesday 20th January, 2016.
Sr.Police Inspector, Ms.Nashikkar of Mumbai Traffic Police exhorted the children to impress upon their parents and elders in the families to always follow the traffic rules - not because of the fines levied by the Police - but to save their own precious lives and precious lives of others on the road. She went on to inform the young minds about the various types of road signs - particularly the mandatory ones - which everyone must follow at all times. Majority of the road accidents happen due to human error and the resulting pain and suffering is life long. Not only does the accident victim suffers, but also the entire family goes through difficult period due to the financial burden an accident can have on them. Thus, it was better to be safe then sorry.The students were shown several educative clips on road safety to bring home the message strongly along with a skit which made learning very interesting.
