Young drivers are at higher risk of crashes when passengers are present, especially friends of the same age or multiple passengers. Friends can distract the driver, encourage risky behaviors like speeding, or pressure the driver to show off instead of focusing on driving. Wearing seat belts dramatically reduces deaths and injuries from car accidents. Children face higher risks as pedestrians due to difficulties judging speed and distance of vehicles. Road safety rules for children include always holding hands when walking near roads and never playing in driveways.
Young drivers face higher risks when carrying passengers, especially friends of similar age. Passengers can distract drivers who have not fully mastered their skills, encourage riskier behaviors like speeding, and pressure the driver to show off. As a passenger, one can help by allowing the driver to concentrate and spotting hazards. Seat belts save lives by keeping occupants secure inside crumpling cars and allowing escape from dangerous situations like submerged vehicles or fires. While mandatory, some argue seat belts invade personal freedom, but statistics show they reduce injury and death risks significantly.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

2. Young drivers
The risk of being involved in a fatal or serious crash is much higher for young drivers when
there are passengers, especially when they are of the same age and when there is more
than one. This is because friends in the car can
- Distract the driver when they have not fully mastered heir driving skills
- Encourage riskier driving behaviours, such as driving after drinking alcohol,
speeding, swerving and following to close.
- Tempt the driver to show off.
Having a passenger can simply make the driver less attentive and less able to respond to
hazards while driving. If you are a passenger in a car that is being driven by your friend,
allow them to concentrate on the driving and try to help by spotting hazards in and around
the road.
3. Seat belts
The wearing of seat belts was made compulsory in all states of Australia in
January 1972. Since that time there has been a dramatic decline in the
number of deaths and serious injuries in car accidents. It has been proved
that the chances of being injured or killed are 60 per cent less if the person
is wearing a seat belt. There are many myths about wearing of seat belts,
but in an accident it is much safer to be in the car than to be thrown out of it.
Cars are designed to crumple on the outside first and to absorb most of the
impact, leaving the inside compartment relatively intact. If you are thrown through the windscreen or windows
against a very hard surface you are more likely to be killed.
Also if you are secured by a seat belt and the car is immersed in water or catches
fire, you are more likely to be conscious and therefore ableto escape than if you
are unconscious because you have struck your head on some part of the car.
Seat belts need to be warn by all occupants whether they are in the front or rear of
the car, especially young children or babies. A rear seat passenger who is not
wearing a seat belt, could become a missile and kill the front occupants as well as
themselves. 6 % of front seat fatalities are caused by unrestrained rear seat
passengers.
Seat belts can cause minor injuries such as abrasions, muscle strains, bruises and
whiplash but these do not compare with the more serious complaints of fractures,
head injuries, paralysis and death.
Sharing a seat belt is ineffective as well as against the law. This applies particularly
to people nursing babies and young children, who can be crushed to the death by
the force of an adults body in a crash.
4. Pedestrians
Children observe the environment
differently, not only are they seeing
everything from a lower viewpoint,
they also have not yet developed
necessary abilities such as judging
speed and distance, making lifesaving
decisions and understanding danger,
which is a necessity for their road safety.
In 2006, 227 pedestrians were killed on the roads, young people accounted for 55%
(24%) of these deaths.
Child pedestrian deaths and injuries increase with age, particularly when schooling
commences – the time at which children begin to travel independently. Most child
pedestrian deaths result from an error made by the child.
In 2006 335 passengers were killed on the roads – young people accounted for 183 (55%)
of these deaths. Passenger deaths and injuries tend to be especially high among 16-19
year olds because they often spend a lot of time travelling as passengers – rather than
driving, walking or bicycling – and they often travel in vehicles driven by young drivers.
5. Children safety
Children tend to focus on one task at a time and ignore other things that are happening around them. E.g. they
follow a ball onto the road because they want the ball now, not thinking to look for traffic. They are full of energy
therefore their speed can put them in dangerous places in seconds. They don’t notice road safety warnings as they
have little understanding of it. They can’t judge speed and distance of cars properly, they cant judge safe gaps and
this can make crossing the roads very dangerous for them. Children don’t notice things out of the corner of their eye
therefore they wont notice an approaching car. Children are small and cant see over parked cars. Children are easily
distracted. Children may become confused and panic when there is a sudden change in traffic conditions.
When out walking with children, hold their hand or hold
them close. This is the most effective way of keeping
children safe from traffic injury. If you hold onto
children, you can stop them running into a situation that
might be dangerous. But sometimes a child doesn’t
want to be held. What do you do?
Don’t worry – all children complain about holding hands
at one time or another. Sometimes they don’t
understand how this will keep them safe or they may
just want to do it their way. By making family rules
about safe walking, explaining them and then sticking to
them, you are helping your child learn how to become a
safer pedestrian.
Use these road safety messages:
•“Whenever we are out walking, we hold hands.”
•“If we can’t hold hands, you can keep close by holding onto me, the bag or the stroller.”
•“There’s no running ahead.”
6. When holding your child’s hand, use the opportunity to talk with the child about:
•Where it is safe to walk and cross the road.
•When it is safe to walk and cross the road.
•The need to stop and wait at the side of the road before crossing.
•What to look for.
•What to listen for.
•Why they have to keep checking until they are safely across the road or the driveway.
Pedestrians still account for a High percentage of all road fatalities with males accounting for most fatalities and
serious injuries. People aged 60years accounted for 16% of serious injury while representing only 16% of the
population.
Prevention strategies
- Always cross at a pedestrian crossing if one is available
- Be aware of your surroundings, whenever you cross, even at lights
- Always stop, look and listen and keep looking as you cross
- Always hold the hand of a child under the age of 5 years when crossing a road
- Never cross a road on a bend or curve
- Ensure that you have a clear view in all directions
- Be alert, never assume that a driver has seen you or intends to stop
- Wear bright coloured clothing, especially at night
Safe Play
Children can dart into traffic very quickly when distracted by games they are playing. Where possible children should
play in a fenced yard or park and be supervised by an adult at all times. Driveways are unsafe areas for children to play.
Use these road safety messages:
•“Always play in the backyard”
•“Dont play in the driveway”
•“Never follow your ball onto the road”
Make some family rules about safe play, talk about them with the children and then stick to them - every time they are
using bikes, trikes or scooters.
7. Safe Cycling
Bicycle riders should always:
- Wear an Australian Standards approved helmet
- Pass other vehicles on the left, except when those vehicles are
indicating and turning left
- Stopping at red lights or Stop signs
- Give way as indicated by signage
- Use hand signals when changing direction to the right
- Give way to pedestrians using crossings
- Keep to the left and give way to pedestrians when using a shared path
Bicycle riders should not:
- Ride on footpaths, unless the bike rider is under 12 years of age or they are an accompanying a rider under 12 years of
age
- Drink alcohol and ride
Even if you are an experienced rider, you are exposed and vulnerable in the road environment and are at risk of serious
injury or death if involved in a crash. Riding defensively and scanning the road can improve your safety. Learning how
to share the road safely could save you your life.
Legislation
Under NSW law, children less than 12 years of age and an accompanying adult if supervising a child, are allowed to
legally ride on the footpath. This law was introduced because, whilst young children quickly develop skills required to
ride, steer and stop a bicycle, their development limitations preclude the child’s capacity to ride on a road shared with
moving vehicles. The child rider’s limitations may result in unpredictable and unsafe behaviour, though the child may
have mastered a range of physical riding skills.
Under NSW law, a bicycle is considered a vehicle and subject to the same road rules as other vehicles. Find out more
about the Road Rules.
8. Tips for riding your bicycle safely
• Always wear an approved bicycle helmet, properly fitted and fastened to your head. For further information on
bicycle helmets, click here.
• Always obey the road rules, including traffic lights, stop signs and give way signs.
• Ride in a predictable manner that does not require other road users to react suddenly to your movements.
• Give hand signals when changing lanes or turning left or right.
• Make yourself as visible as possible by wearing bright, light or reflective clothing.
• Plan your route using quieter streets, bicycle paths or shared paths, wherever possible.
• Maintain control of your bike at all times. It is an offence to ride with both hands off the handlebars, feet off the
pedals or to carry anything which prevents you from having control.
39 bicyclists were killed on the roads in 2006 – 11 (28%) of these deaths were young people and all of them were
males. Bicycles are legitimate vehicles and cyclists have rights and responsibilities like any other road user. Check the
bike is first road worthy they should have:
- An effective hand or foot operated rear wheel brake
- A red light reflector on the rear
- Between sunset and sunrise they should have a white front light and rear red light showing which is unbroken or
flashing
- Also yellow reflectors fitted to each pedal for night or poor weather riding
- Handle bars are not loose and are aligned with the front wheel axle
- Make sure a warning device is attached (e.g. horn or bell)
Safety Considerations
- Helmet
- Bright, reflective clothing is recommended
- Know the appropriate hand signals and make them clear
- Follow the rules of the roundabout like a car
- Use a hook turn when going right at an intersection
- Keep left
- Don’t slip stream or pace behind a moving vehicle
- Don’t hold onto a moving vehicle (its against the law)
9. Bicycle riders have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers
and motorcycle riders. When driving, be on the look out for bicycle
riders as they are smaller than cars and harder to see.
Tips when driving near bicycle riders
• Bicycle riders are more difficult to see than cars or trucks,
especially at night. Take care to check for bicycle riders in blind
spots.
• When overtaking give bicycle riders a safe amount of space. This
means at least one metre to the side in a 50 km/h zone, if the speed
limit is higher, then bicycle riders need more space for their safety.
• Always check for bicycle riders whenever you travel on the road particularly when turning at intersections.
• Sometimes a bicycle can travel as fast or faster than a car, particularly in slow-moving traffic. Never
underestimate their speed and be sure not to cut them off by moving in front of them. Remember that it
takes longer for a bicycle to stop than a car at the same speed.
• Check in your rear view and side mirrors to avoid opening your car door into the path of bicycle riders. This
can be dangerous and legally your fault.
• At times bicycle riders may need a full width lane to ride safely due to
rough road edges and gravel. Be
Prepared to slow down and allow the rider to travel away from the
kerb.
Children on bikes can be unpredictable – be prepared to slow
down and stop.
• Bicycle riders are allowed to ride two abreast, (side by side).
10. Motorcyclists
Most drivers simply don’t see them because
they aren’t looking for motorcycles. They are
also harder to see than other vehicles. They
are small, can blend in easily with the
surroundings and can accelerate much faster
than vehicles therefore its hard to judge their
approaching speed.
In 2006, 238 motorcyclists (both riders and pillions) were killed on the roads, young
people accounted for 74 (31%) of these deaths. Nearly all the young motorcyclists killed
were males (96%).
On a distance of travelled basis, the death rate of motorcyclists is very high – between
1998 and 202 the death rate per kilometre travelled was between 18 and 25 times that of
a motor vehicle occupant. This is because of two key reasons:
1) as a group, they are more likely to take risks. This is especially so for young
riders; and
2) They do not have the physical protection that motor vehicle occupants have.
