SLOGAN COMPETITION TO LAUNCH ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGN

*

THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGN ORGANISING COMMITTEE HAS ORGANISED A SLOGAN COMPETITION AS A PRELUDE TO A SERIES OF ROAD SAFETY ACTIVITIES TO BE HELD NEXT MONTH.

CO-ORGANISED BY THE DISTRICT OFFICE AND SPONSORED BY THE DISTRICT BOARD, THE COMPETITION AIMS AT AROUSING PEOPLE'S AWARENESS OF ROAD SAFETY.

++

THE COMPETITION IS DIVIDED INTO FOUR SECTIONS

ONE FOR PRIMARY STUDENTS, ONE FOR SECONDARY AND POST-SECONDARY STUDENTS, ONE FOR DRIVERS, AND ONE FOR OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

ALL THOSE WHO LIVE, STUDY OR WORK IN THE DISTRICT ARE WELCOME TO ENTER THE COMPETITION, AND THERE IS NO LIMIT ΤΟ THE NUMBER OF ENTRIES EACH PERSON MAY SUBMIT.

EACH ENTRY, WHICH MUST CONSIST OF NO MORE THAN 20 CHINESE CHARACTERS, SHOULD SERVE TO ALERT DRIVERS OR PEDESTRIANS TO THE CAUSES OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS AND DRAW THEIR ATTENTION TO HIGHWAY CODES.

STATISTICS SHOW THAT THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS ARE SPEEDING, FOLLOWING OTHER VEHICLES TOO CLOSELY. CHANGING LANES AND MAKING TURNS RECKLESSLY.

ANOTHER CAUSE IS PEDESTRIANS NEGLECTING ADVICE GIVEN IN HIGHWAY CODES WHEN CROSSING THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CROSS BY THREADING THEIR WAY BETWEEN VEHICLES.

ENTRY FORMS FOR THE COMPETITION ARE NOW AVAILABLE AT THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OFFICE AND ITS SUB-OFFICES.

ALL ENTRIES, TOGETHER WITH A COMPLETED ENTRY FORM, MUST REACH THE COMMITTEE THROUGH THE DISTRICT OFFICE'S ABERDEEN SUB-OFFICE, 23RD FLOOR, ABBA COMMERCIAL BUILDING, 223 ABERDEEN MAIN ROAD, ABERDEEN, BEFORE 5.30 PM ON OCTOBER 2.
