Woodbridge Township Police Department Targets Bicycle Safety
WPD To Issue “Safety” Summons For Wearing Bicycle Helmets
~ Summons Good For FREE Ice Cream Cone at Colonia Dairy Maid ~
Woodbridge
- Mayor John E. McCormac and the Woodbridge Police Department (WPD) announce a summer bicycle safety campaign targeting bicyclists
under age 17. WPD officers on patrol will issue
a “safety” summons to bicyclists
wearing safety helmets – state law requires children under the age of
17 to wear a bicycle safety helmet while riding a bicycle, roller
blades, skateboard or scooter. The “safety”
summons is good for a FREE ice cream cone at Colonia Dairy Maid (1075 St. Georges Ave., Colonia.)Besides the benefit of possibly getting a free ice cream cone, the other benefit of wearing a helmet is possibly preventing a head trauma if your child has an accident on his or her bike... surely that is also a really good reason to make them wear a helmet...
