‘My First License - I Know My Road Rules'– A Tristar project to create road safety awareness amongst school children to help them become better road users of the future

Children retain habits that they learn during first few years. Using this idea, a road safety project was launched which was aimed at educating young school children about road safety. Students aged 4-8 years from local schools were targeted. 

Each session included road safety lecture from experts followed by road safety quiz. Since the campaign was aimed at familiarizing students on road safety rules they had to drive a pedal car and follow all the basic road safety rules such as road signs, zebra crossings, traffic signals and roundabouts. This gave them young drivers of tomorrow a hands on feel of  what to expect when driving. There were volunteers from Tristar to act as wardens and manage the flow of pedal cars in the training hall. At the end of each session students were issued a plastic card bearing their photo and name. A coloring booklet on road safety was also issued to students after each session to make them feel happy.  Around 5000 children were covered during this campaign. The campaign was met with favorable reception from all involved and conceded to be a great success.
