2. Solutions to improve traffic violations among students
The family is the first school for children to learn about safe traffic participation.
Hence, parents need to educate their children about complying with traffic laws from an early age.
Educating children to obey the law when participating in traffic is not only to ensure the safety of their lives and property but also for others.
Parents should not allow children to use motorcycles if they are underage.
Children must wear helmets when participating in traffic on the road.
Above all, parents must be role models in obeying traffic laws and behave culturally when participating in traffic.
Close coordination between parents and schools is essential to enhance traffic law compliance awareness among students. During parent meetings, there should be extensive discussions on traffic safety issues for students. Schools should assign teachers to communicate with parents when students violate traffic laws to find effective methods to educate them about traffic law compliance.
On the part of the Traffic Police Department, there will be active dissemination of extracurricular traffic safety content for students to understand traffic laws, thereby strictly adhering to them.
