    "content": "It is important that we train students in both primary and secondary schools and even those in institutions of higher learning on road safety because we know the consequences of bad use of roads. Accidents not only cause deaths, but also maim people for life. We also know that people incur huge medical bills and others get traumatised. Family members go through trauma as they treat their sick children who have been involved in accidents. If we train young people on road safety, we are actually providing safety to them, so that they can take responsibility on how to cross a road or how to allow others to use a road. A road is not only used by students but also by drivers. They will know their rights to cross roads and at what time to use them safely. It is for this reason that I believe that too many lives will be saved once training takes place. It is not only our students at primary level who will be trained, but also adults in secondary schools. I wish we can add university students and other members of the society. When a child is crossing a road and is hit by a vehicle, it is an adult who hits him. So, we also need to train the public and drivers on road safety. We should not only know how to drive a vehicle, but also the rules of the road. You should know when to cross a road and when to wait for a car to pass. Those rules are very important."
