Read the passage below carefully. Then answer the queston that follows.

Statistics have often shown that most of the road users involved in road accidents
are schoolchildren.
There are several cases where accidents are caused by children cycling abreast
and playing along the road, crossing behind parked vehicles, carrying pillion riders,
running across the road without paying much attention to the traffic or alighting from
moving buses.
Children should therefore be taught the importance of safety both at home and in
schools. Schools, especially, can do a lot to promote this through exhibitions.
Regular demonstrations by police can help instill a greater awareness of the
importance of road safety.
Write a summary on the ways to reduce road accidents involving schoolchildren.
