Greeting fellow readers,

On the event day, the committee of 'Promise Me' has prepare and plan an accident scene inside the campus. Students nowadays use to text and drive especially during traffic jam. They have nothing else  to do than scrolling checking or  update around the social media.While the purpose of having the accident scene inside the campus is to remind the people don't text and drive. And this is to create awareness among the students and attract them to take part on the activities. And together with the pledge board beside the accident scene is for students to sign as a pledge to promise us not to text and drive and of course not only texting, feel tired or drink and drive was the reason of causes accident.

 The accident scene shows the driver was texting. This accident scene is to bring the awareness of text while drive will causes accident and also it bring out our objective of creating awareness of the road safety.

                               
Committee explaining the accident scene to the president of TARUC, meanwhile the our campaign leader are telling the survey that had conducted before the campaign and the result shows that most of the participant think that text and drive is one of the causes accident.

"Your Turn To Take A U TURN" Exhibition Booth

Photo 1: The outlook of "Your Turn To Take a U-Turn" Exhibition booth.

A special exhibition booth, called "Your Turn to Take A U-Turn," was prepared by the members of the Promise Me Road Safety Campaign. In the exhibition booth, we had provided information about road accidents. There were two concepts in the exhibition booth, 'Fear' and 'Warm'. 

Photo 2: Fear concept of the exhibition booth.

For the Fear concept, a storyboard was used to show the causes of car accidents, the effects of car accidents and also the bad experiences of the car drivers.

Photo 3: Warm concept of the exhibition booth.

As for the Warm concept, another storyboard was used to show the actions during the car accidents and driving safety tips (preventions and actions).

Photo 4: The member of exhibition department was explaining the causes of car accident.

Besides that, there were two storyboards for each concept which was created by the members of Promise Me Road Safety Campaign. 

The storyboards talked about a man, who was called Jack, driving back home after office hour with a fast speed, he received phone call and accepted it without the use of handsfree devices, and drove without put on the seatbelt. His wife, Mary had tried to called him afterwards but he did not pick up the call. After few moments passed, Mary received a call from the hospital and she was being told that her husband was involved into a car accident. He was found to be seriously injured and he was lucky to survive the car crash.

One month later, Jack had completed his recovery from the injury. Jack is still driving as well but he has started following the rules and regulations. His wish from then onwards was to reach home safely and see his precious ones. 

The message of the storyboards is to tell the readers to "Come Home Safe". The team wished that everyone can drive safer so that everyone can return to their humble home and see their loved ones.

Safety rules for cross walker

• When we mention "ROAD SAFETY", you might just think of car drivers or bikers. Do you know that actually when you are walking on the road is also considered a road user? And do you know that road user is always facing road safety?
• You might know alot about how to drive or how to ride safety on the road. How about walking safely on the road? Do you really know about that? Let's learn about this before it is too late!

• Walk Facing Traffic: If there is no sidewalk and you have to walk on the side of the road, remember to choose the side where you are facing the oncoming traffic. This gives you the best chance to see traffic approaching closest to you and take evasive action when needed.
•  
  
• Cross Safely: Look both ways before crossing any street! We bet most of you had learned about this phrase since we are young. At controlled intersections, it is wise to cross only when you have the pedestrian crossing light, but even then, drivers and bikers may have a green light to turn and won't be expecting you to be in the crosswalk. Make eye contact with any drivers who may be turning. Give them a wave as your 'signal light'. Make sure they see you. In a car-walker interaction, you can only lose.
• 
  

• Be Visible: Wear bright colors when walking in daytime. When walking at night, wear light-colored clothing so that drivers can see you. Drivers do not expect walkers walking on the road. Therefore, you need to give them every chance to see you, even at street crossings that have crossing signals. Be just as cautious at dawn or twilight, as drivers still have limited visibility or may even have the setting or rising sun directly in their eyes.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS !

Using the overhead bridge to cross the road: Students who do not drive will have to take public transport. It will stop you in a certain bus station. If you want to cross to the other side of the road, do not try to cross the road even there is a traffic jam! You will never know that motor cyclist will knock you down and create a very great impact. 

Life moves pretty fast, so cars do. If you don't stop and look around once in a while. you could miss it. Promise me cross walker, be careful be home...
