Road test your safety knowledge

For those with children, and perhaps some of you without, the Department for Transport has launched (with help from the multibillion-pound technology firm 3M) a website designed to test your road safety knowledge. The launch, backed by the road safety charity Brake, coincides with road safety week.

The site is a decent enough attempt to put a bit of fun into learning about road safety. Youngsters are set challenges such as filling in the blank to complete the road safety sentence. The science part of the site tackles topics such as force and is designed to nestle into the Key Stage 2 curriculum. There's also stuff for teachers.

Parents are tested on seemingly more prosaic subjects such as the legal age/height for children travelling in the front passenger seat.
