Bike Safety

On Friday 22 February Constable John and Constable Garland came to school. They came to teach us about biking safely on the roads. We worked on riding fast and having to brake in a hurry, pretending a car had pulled out in-front of us. We also had to ride slow and control the bike so we weren't wobbling all over the place. Constable John set up an intersection and we had to work out who was turning where and who had to give way. This was quite tricky for some people. Constable John taught us about collision points at an intersection and that you shouldn't go until you are 100% sure it is safe. I enjoyed the intersection activity and I learnt about using hand signals and keeping them up for 3 seconds so other motorists can see them.
