The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has said obeying traffic rules and regulations will help to decrease road crashes.
Mr Chiedozie Okoh, the Sector Public Education Officer of the FRSC in Delta, revealed this at a ceremony to mark the National Road Safety Club Day on Tuesday in Asaba.
He urged motorists to be safety conscious when driving and to abide by safety rules.
His words, “The essence of the road safety clubs in schools is to catch the children young as well as make them understand the need for safety.
“They must be conversant with the road signs, how to cross the road and should be able to correct their parents when they notice that they are not obeying traffic signs,”
“There may be cases where parents might be over speeding and such children should be able to tell their parents that they are over speeding.”
Master Oweazim Chukwufumnanya of the Nazarite Academy, Asaba, also said, “Being a member of the road safety club will give us more knowledge on how to use the roads, especially when it comes to obeying traffic rules.
“The more we learn, the less ignorant we are and once we have good knowledge of the use of the roads, the roads will be safer for everybody.”
