Our vehicles have a serious job to do in keeping us safe on the road. A few simple checks and a good understanding of the warning lights will help students make sure it’s up to the task.
At RYDA, we talk a lot about making good choices from any seat in the car – reducing distractions, managing speed, being a helpful passenger and managing mind-state are some of the topics we discuss. We want students to feel empowered to become active road citizens. Part of this is understanding the vehicle itself and ensuring it is in good condition.
This activity asks students to use their vehicle owner manual as a resource tool in order to become familiar with the car’s safety features, basic mechanical upkeep and warning signs.
