Tuwing Mayo ay ginugunita ang Road Safety Month upang paigtingin ang kamalayan ng publiko sa kahalagahan ng kaligtasan sa kalsada. Sa pamamagitan ng kampanyang “BiyaHero Tayo,” hinihikayat ang lahat na gawing ligtas ang bawat biyahe sa pamamagitan ng tamang pagsusuot ng helmet at seatbelt.

Siguraduhing DTI-approved at tamang sukat ang helmet, habang ang lahat ng pasahero ay dapat naka-seatbelt nang maayos, kabilang ang mga nasa likurang upuan. Ang simpleng pag-iingat ay malaking hakbang upang makaiwas sa malubhang pinsala at aksidente sa kalsada.

Maging responsableng motorista at pasahero. Sa bawat biyahe, piliin ang kaligtasan dahil bawat buhay ay mahalaga.
