Safely back to school

In many countries, the end of summer means the beginning of the school year. This is a time that always poses risks to children of all ages, whether they’re being given a lift, cycling or walking. “It is a period of transition for children and parents alike, and any change carries risks. In addition, there are thousands of first-graders who are just learning how to get to school, so these are inexperienced new road users,” explains Robert Šťastný, head of ŠKODA Road Safety Research.
