Early Christmas present for Scottish competition winner

The winner of the Scottish Road Safety Campaign’s (SRSC) 2003 Travel Pack competition is Ross Apted from Duns in the Scottish Borders.

"Every year the SRSC produces a Travel Pack that is distributed free of charge," explains Anne Diack, SRSC’s assistant director. "The packs are used for a variety of events, generally across the summer period.

"It comprises a number of items including an activity book, story tape and 'arrive alive' pen - things to keep children quiet when they are travelling in a car or on public transport."

The competition was a spot the faults ‘Monday Madness’ postcard. As winner, Ross was invited to choose a bike at a local shop - thus ensuring it is the correct fit - along with accessories.

Ross is a keen cyclist and was over the moon to discover he had won the competition. He already has his own helmet so the SRSC presented him with lights to make sure he can be seen on the dark mornings.

Ross, who is in Primary 7, thought the bike was a great early Christmas present – and funnily enough his twin brother is the junior road safety officer at Duns Primary School.
