Bike safety report

Bike safety report
This week we had some very special people come into our school. They were part of a program meant to teach us about how to ride on the road safely.  Today, they taught us about "T" intersections and how to know when to cross the road  
Pretend this happened:

This is called a "T" intersection. It is called this because It looks like a "T". Sometimes, when you are in the car, you will come across some "T" intersections. These are some of the key rules they gave us

• Top of the "T" goes before me
• Give way to all traffic on your right
• anyone going straight goes first
• short turn first, long turn last

GOLDEN RULE:

Wait and see

The biker, trying to go to the right hand side, would wait last. Top of the "T" goes before me! If you were the biker, you would have to hand signal with your right hand. To make sure the driver see's you, you would smile at them and make eye contact. If they smile back, you know they've seen you. If they don't and your not sure what to do, use the key rule and wait and see 

I  have really enjoyed this program and can't wait to go on the road tomorrow!
