Guernsey Electricity is reminding islanders to stay safe on the roads during the winter through the annual ‘Be safe Be Seen’ campaign in association with Island FM.
The initiative aims to make sure kids stay safe on their way to and from school by supplying them with reflective stickers that they can put on their bags and bikes so that they can be easily seen by drivers in the dark and wintery conditions.
Guernsey Electricity and Island FM along with the Guernsey Police will also be attending schools in the coming weeks to distribute the stickers and give advice on road safety.
Alan Bates, managing director at Guernsey Electricity, said: “Guernsey Electricity is proud to have been involved with the ‘Be Safe Be Seen’ initiative for a number of years.”
“It’s so important in a place like Guernsey with its small busy roads that the many children who enjoy walking and cycling to school feel safe. The scheme helps to educate children on road safety and to give advice on preparing for their journeys during the winter including the use of the reflective stickers.
“The stickers really stand out and they help the many drivers to be more aware of pedestrians and cyclists when the mornings are dark and the nights are drawing in. They are really popular with school children - they love to plaster them across their bikes, bags and coats.”
The 'Be Safe Be Seen' reflective stickers are available from the Guernsey Electricity showroom on The Bridge.
