By secondary school, young people travel independently of their parents as pedestrians, cyclists, passengers in cars and on public transport, and eventually as learner drivers and licensed drivers.

Parents should make expectations clear to kids when traveling and set a good road safety example by being a safe road user.
------Understand the road rules -----
Young people should understand the road rules that apply to pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. Discuss ways of being safe as a pedestrian and a cyclist – in particular the need to use pedestrian or children’s crossings, where these are available, and the importance of wearing a bicycle helmet. Discuss how you stay safe as a driver by obeying the road rules, driving in accordance with weather and traffic conditions, and by being courteous to other road users.
-----Use public transport safely and responsibly -----
Young people tend to use public transport, including school buses, frequently, but sometimes take risks and ignore the dangers associated with public transport vehicles. They need to understand the importance of using public transport safely and responsibly – and sometimes also need to be reminded that other passengers have the right to a safe and pleasant journey.
-----Travel safely to and from events and activities ----
Parents and their children should have agreements on how young people will travel to and from events and activities – particularly to and from parties late at night.
There is research evidence that the skills necessary to cross roads safely such as judgment of speed, reaction time and the selection of safe gaps are impaired at BAC levels of .08 and above.
----- Learn to drive – and practice ---- From the age of 18, young people can begin to learn to drive a car. Make sure that learner drivers obtain lots of practice behind the wheel in different conditions – at least 120 hours is recommended.
