Monday, 16 January 2023 07:44

School children are being urged to take care getting off the bus, following 'serious collisions'.

It comes following a number of reports of kids running over the road behind the bus after getting off, resulting in some 'serious collisions' between children and other vehicles.

As a result, Road Safety Isle of Man and Isle of Man Transport are encouraging youngsters to wait for the bus to be clear of the stop before crossing the road.

Further, parents and grandparents are asked to chat to children about road safety.
