As students transition to secondary school, they are granted more freedom which comes with added responsibility. This period brings significant changes, including traveling to school independently, using public transport, walking, or cycling. However, there are risks involved, with statistics showing increased road collision dangers for 11-year-olds compared to younger children. Ensuring safe travel to school is crucial, with a focus on awareness and precaution.
