Educational Suggestions

Safety awareness should begin from childhood, as it is difficult

to impart awareness to a grown up human.

If safety awareness is imparted in childhood itself, safety will

become a habit.

Video and Computer games involving Motor Racing should be

controlled or discouraged by parents as it will develop racing

habit in children.
