Teach your children road safety to keep them safe when they're out an about

With the new school year about to begin, there's no better time to make sure your child is clued up on road safety. In 2008, 2,807 children were killed or seriously injured in road accidents and of those, 1,784 were pedestrians. It's therefore vital that you encourage your child to be street-savvy from as early an age as possible.

We've put together the ultimate guide to keeping your child safe and helping him understand the rules of the road, whether he's walking to school, cycling or in a car with you.
