Abstract

The aim of this project was to find out at what age children become aware of cars and transport problems, especially environmental aspects. Eighty interviews were undertaken asking questions about cars, transport issues and attitudes to these. It was found that brand, speed and value awareness increases with age. Children as young as four years of age are aware of the makes and types of car. Results suggest an awareness of accident risk at age five, but no environmental awareness till age ten. (A)
