Pupils put focus on road safety
Youngsters are Glamis and Eassie helped hand out leaflets to motorists to make them aware of the dangers of driving at speed and the consequences of this.
Primary pupils in Angus have been helping to teach drivers a lesson on road safety.
The youngsters from Glamis and Eassie schools have been handing out leaflets making them aware of the dangers of speeding as well as getting to grips with hand held speed guns.
Police were also highlighting crossing with care and stopping distances on the roads.
PC Scott Anderson said: “Friday's initiative was to educate drivers that when they are at or near to schools drivers should slow down, observe the speed limits and pay attention. If they are parking to drop off or pick up then they should choose their parking spot carefully, preferably a distance away from the school itself".
"Children from Glamis and Eassie Primary schools played a big part in the initiative and I would like to thank both them and Angus Council Education Department for allowing them to do this”.
Scott Gordon Head Teacher of Glamis and Eassie primary schools said: “We’re very pleased to join Police Scotland in promoting the importance of road safety at and around our schools.
"I’m sure everyone will agree that we all want to do all we can to ensure our children travel to and from school safely, whether as a passenger or a pedestrian.
“When at or approaching schools, drivers should always reduce their speeds to below the recommended limit and take extra care as to what is going on around them.
"Avoid zig-zag lines and Keep Clear zones and always park in a place that is safe for you and your passengers and for other road users and pedestrians.”
