The main issues our practice addresses are the following:
1. Proper body position on the motorcycle
2. Proper method of braking
3. Proper eye focus while riding
4. Proper motorcycle riding behaviour (other road users)
5. Developing confidence and overcoming fears when on the motorcycle

Problematic Speed for road safety.
Specifically: Excessive speed, that is to say driving at a speed higher than the maximum permitted speed as well as Inappropriate speed, which is defined as driving at excessively high speeds given the traffic situation, infrastructure, weather conditions and/or other special circumstances. Speed is one of the most important causes of road accidents: 10-15% of all road traffic collisions and 30% of fatal injury collisions are the direct result of excessive or inappropriate speed.

An increase in speed by 10 km/h leads to a risk of a fatality of 220% of the initial event, i.e. the risk has more than doubled.

The implementation of infrastructure projects and the identification and rehabilitation of dangerous points on the road network is one of the strategic axes of the RSI.

In a E-77 road axis part, in particular in an area of 4 km of the Chalkida-Psahna road, there has been a high rate of fatal road traffic collisions over the last 20 years due to problematic speed.

The aim of this project was the design of interventions related to infrastructure in order to improve road safety by enabling drivers to control their behaviour.

The book "My Hero" graces the libraries of the 110 schools of Rhodes following a decision by the Board of Directors of the Primary & Secondary School Committee of the Municipality of Rhodes. The goal is to adorn the libraries of all schools in the South Aegean Region.

I feel proud because I managed to write a book starting with my Hero who returns to Rhodes who meets his friends, operators, the Prime Minister of his country to talk about the human lives that are lost in the streets and with the aim of being read and for its readers to know the causes of traffic accidents, for my country, for the Strategic Road Safety Improvement Plan in Greece, for Europe, for World Victims' Remembrance Day, for supporting victims and everything about traffic accidents and how they can be reduced.

Οι προκλήσεις είναι πολλαπλές. Από τη μια πλευρά έχουμε την άγνοια κινδύνου από τους γονείς κι από την άλλη την έλλειψη οδηγικής συμπεριφοράς. Η αλλαγή της καθημερινότητας στην μετακίνηση της τοπικής κοινωνίας διαμορφώνει την γενική εικόνα της περιοχής.

Οι συμμετέχοντες μαθητές είχαν λάβει μέρος σε διαγωνισμό του Ινστιτούτου «Πάνος Μυλωνάς» όπου και διακρίθηκαν καταλαμβάνοντας την πρώτη θέση. Από μικρή ηλικία λοιπόν είχαν ευαισθητοποιηθεί και γνώριζαν αρκετά καλά την ανάγκη της κυκλοφοριακής αγωγής καθώς και πόσο επικίνδυνη είναι η άγνοιά της . Τα παιδιά καθημερινά βιώνουν στην πόλη τους ακραίες συμπεριφορές από οδηγούς που δε δείχνουν καμία πρόθεση να βελτιωθούν. Τα συχνά ατυχήματα στους δρόμους της πόλης ήταν άλλο ένα κίνητρο που προβλημάτισε τα παιδιά ότι πρέπει να δραστηριοποιηθούν.

Η χρήση του κράνους σε κάθε όχημα που χρησιμοποιούν τα παιδιά όπως scate, scooter, rolers ή ποδήλατο.
