Jumicar is all about giving children a fun and practical experience to learn about the roads. During the sessions the young people will gain road awareness skills, learn the importance of obeying safety rules and become aware of the various hazards presented by being in a vehicle or on the roadside.

Children - pedestrians

The facts

  • In 2007 on average 37 children under 16 were killed or seriously injured every week on roads in Great Britain
  • Most children under 9 can't judge how fast vehicles are going or how far away they are
  • The risk of a child pedestrian being involved in a road accident rises when they start school and then rises again when children start secondary school
