We are teaching our children to break the law

WE may not realise this but every time we shoot the red light with our children in the car, we are actually teaching them to break the law.

I remember the Shell company holding road traffic games in Batu Road School in the 1950s to get primary school pupils to learn and observe simple laws such as motorists should slow down and stop when the traffic light turns amber, and cars must give way to pedestrians at zebra crossings.
