INTRODUCTION
Hello everybody, it was a wonderful day with great experience for my colleagues and I. I'm delighted you are doing very well in this platform my fellow Steemians. Today, I will be sharing my sensitization experiences in our CDS (Community Development Service) group at Aba South, Abia StateLocation
ROAD SAFETY SENSITIZATION
On reaching our Local Government Headquarters, I met my colleagues and we deliberated on how we will go about the sensitization.
I was given a team to lead. In my team, we were to meet with the road users and enlighten them on how to use the road properly.
We approached some vehicle owners, and I spoke to them on Vehicle Checklist.
Telling them that accident is an unforseen event, it's not something anybody plans for but that everyone needs to do some things in order to prevent some forms of accidents.
I let them understand that before they take there vehicles out, they must first run a check on their vehicles by checking the water level in the radiator, the engine oil whether it needs a top up.
And also, they need to check if they have the following:
- Warning Triangle
- C - Caution
- Spare Tyre
- Hydraulic
- Wheel Spanner
- Fire Extinguisher
- Spare Fan Belt
- Torch Light
- Jack
- Water
- First Aid Kit
In case of any emergencies.
SENSITIZING THE PEDESTRIANS
After talking and educating the motorists, we met the people passing by the road and I enlightened them on where they are meant to use.
Most of the people leave the pedestrian walk and use the main road which is meant for vehicles and it is very wrong because they can easily be knock down by a moving vehicle.
It is something that everybody needs to learn.
Most people don't know this but I believe alot of people have learnt about it today.
CONCLUSION
It was really a great experience. It was nice transfering knowledge and educating people around about their safety on the road. I felt excited when I had the audience of the people and they were eager to learn more.
In as much as we use the road everyday, it is necessary for us to know where is meant for our usage.
After learning, we should endeavor to sensitize others around us.
For those that have vehicles, please check your vehicles before going out and also after coming back to the house.
Make sure you check you vehicle checklist to ensure you will not find yourself wanting at any point in time.
Please obey traffic rules on the road.
Remember, our safety is our priority.
Thank you for your time. I love you all stay safe and remain safe.
Hello @digniwiz,
You have made a very important post.Sensitizing road users is a very important activity especially now that we are entering the yuletide moments.
I believe this sensitization will help to cushion the effect and rate of road accidents in Aba city.
Kudos for FRSC CDS group!!
