LASER - Road Safety
Road safety scenarios may cover four areas; Pedestrian, Cycling, In-Car and Conspicuity.
Each area has a subset of Key Messages.

Scenarios must be pitched at the 'right age'.
Some of the subset messages can be incorporated and combined with other scenarios.
Scenarios should empower children to make decisions to be safe. (Experience, Knowledge, Process and Practice)
