Good morning boys and girls,
First of all, I want to thank your school for inviting me for the Road Safety Campaign in your
school. I am Inspector Syafiq from the police station at Kampung Majidee.
Today, I am going to talk about road safety, especially on how to cycle safely. I
noticed many of you cycle to school. Remember to cycle by the side of the road in single
file. There are many vehicles on the road and these vehicles are faster and bigger than
your bicycles. Be careful not to cycle too far out in other vehicles path. This is to avoid being
hit by them.
Secondly, make sure your bicycle is in good condition. Make sure that the brakes
and bell are working and there is enough air in the tyres. Having enough air in the tyres will
give you a smooth ride. The size of the bicycle must be suitable to your height and size. This
will give you a good control of your bicycle.
Thirdly, do not cycle too fast because if anyone or any vehicles gets in your way, you
may not be able to brake in time.
Remember, your life is precious and it pays to be alert at all times when you are on
the road. Your parents love you very much, so cycle carefully. Thank you.
