Answer 3

Look out for yourself and your friends when out on foot and bike. Choose the safest routes you can like quieter, slower roads, with pavements if you’re walking or cycle paths if you’re going by bike.

It’s easy to get distracted by your phone or by friends, but you need to be alert to traffic. Put your phone away and take your earphones out when crossing the road. Don’t trust that drivers will spot you and be able to stop in time – many drivers go too fast and don’t pay enough attention, so anything you can do to protect yourself is a good thing.
