Road accidents are predictable, so they can be prevented. How?

By means of Art public attention can be drawn to road safety problems.

We suggest a creative approach to serious problems, and serious treatment of creative fun.

Topic:

ROAD SAFETY IS TRAFFIC WITHOUT ACCIDENTS

 The use of safety belts, baby seats, and reduction of number of cases of driving in a state of intoxication and breaking speed limits can dramatically increase the road safety level, and the safety of young traffic participants: pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, drivers and passengers.

Informing young people about the road accident consequences makes it really possible to reduce the number of children and teenagers suffered on the roads.
