To get on a vehicle, wait for it to STOP, and then get on quickly. If you have to
enter the vehicle from the traffic side, which means that you will have to step onto
the roadway, only do so when the road is clear.
To get off, again wait for the vehicle to STOP, and get off quickly. If you have to get
off on the traffic side, only do so when the road is clear. Remember, you can stop
and turn much quicker than a vehicle.
( c ) KNOW THE CORRECT SIDE OF THE ROAD ON WHICH TO WALK:

THERE IS NO PAVEMENT
When walking along the road you should always face the traffic so that if you have
to step into the road you can see if it is clear or if there is a vehicle coming towards
you, you would wait until it has passed. In The Bahamas where we drive on the
left side of the road, we would walk on the right hand side of the road. On one-way
roads be careful if you have to walk in the same direction as the traffic.

THERE IS A PAVEMENT
Where there is a pavement you should try to walk on the left of it. This would have
you facing the traffic when walking on the outside near the road, and on the inside
when walking in the same direction as the traffic.

(d ) KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOURSELF READILY IDENTIFIED ON THE ROAD,
ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.

When walking along the road during the evening, or at night, wear light
coloured clothes, not browns or blacks, so that you can be easily seen by vehicle
drivers.
If it is very dark or there are no street lights carry a lighted flashlight so that
you can see in front of you and also, that you can be seen by others.

6. ART AND CRAFT

COMPLETE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:

( a ) MAKE A MODEL FROM MODELING CLAY OR SUITABLE MATERIAL.
Here is your opportunity to become really creative, making things with your
own hands. How good you will feel to show off your work and say “I did that.”
Making models from odds and ends or modeling clay can be fun.
First you will have to look around for materials: matchboxes, eggboxes,
tins, plastic bottles, etc. Then with a few ideas and some glue or nails and some
paint, who knows what you can produce.

OR
( b ) DRAW A PICTURE NOT LESS THAN 18cm x 13cm (7” x 5” ) OF ANY LOCAL
SCENE, ACTIVITY OR ANIMAL.
