Nationwide
Last year Nationwide, distributed six million reflectors to around 23,500 primary schools, including independent and special needs schools and self teaching groups around the county.
By wearing a reflector a child pedestrian can be visible at 150 meters with low beam headlights compared to only 30 meters without one, giving a driver five times the distance to react. The campaign has also supplied schools with teaching packs to support the importance of road safety.
The programme will continue until 2006.
