what the duce ?

We sang this song at Kindergarten when we went to the library. One of those lessons you never forget...that was in 1988...
-
There were short films. I do remember them. They were shown at my two visits to road safety centres while in primary school along with with pratice in using them too on site.
-
And believe it or not, Hector still does road safety lessons here in Australia. He visits schools and does school holiday clinics. He is owned by the NT government.

Stop at the curb R Look to the right R Look to the left R Look to the right again. Then if the road is clear of traffic Walk straight across the road, don't run Walk straight across the road. Then the verse above is sung two more times. R=Echo (repeat the line) This ad did broadcast in South Australia, the state I lived in back in 1982 on TV. The personal irony of mine of this ad is weird.

I remember this ad well as a kid in 1982. And despite flouting these rules once to avoid having a scheduled vaccination at school in August 1982 (ran across a six laned arterial road in one continious motion and got hit by a car to avoid the Salk vaccine at school), I loved this ad and reminds me of how important road safety is. After the accident, I had to re learn the road rules from scratch as I was on cruches with a broken leg. This ad helped in the process.

I always sing this song too...so now, I'm teaching my little girl and she loves it. Crossing the road has never been easier!

I'm sure there were short films as well as the ads ... I can remember sitting in the school hall watching various films, and one of them was the 'live action' Hector the Cat. I think there was a Miss Cat too. Can anyone else remember that?

To this day, whenever I cross a road, I always sing the lyrics in my head. Am I insane?

If you are, so am I, because I occasionally do it as well!
