This is because 25 August marks the start of the new school year. The initiative aims to raise awareness of safety, prevention and traffic protection for all road users.

The initiative aims to reward those who comply with the pledge and do not violate traffic laws. This includes fastening seat belts, abiding by speed limits, maintaining a safe distance, respecting the priority and safety of pedestrians, avoiding distractions such as using a phone while driving, and giving way to emergency vehicles, ambulances, the police and official convoys.
