Description: The dramatised story of a boy who died after being hit by a motorcycle is used to communicate to children the best practice when crossing the road. Various safe techniques are introduced from the use of pelican crossings, zebra crossings, pedestrian refuges, and the Green Cross Code process 'stop, look, listen, think'.
