Tran Minh Phuc, a student in grade 3/8, excitedly said: “Through the program, I have understood basic traffic laws such as not entering a pedestrian sign when I see it, stopping when the light is red, and only going when the light is green.”

Hoang Khanh Linh, class 3/8, said: "Before, I often forgot to wear a helmet when going to school, but from now on, I will always remember to wear a helmet to protect myself."
