The members of the committee always gather at a different location, this time in Kisapostag, in the meeting room of the mayor’s office. These are closed-door meetings, where the accident situation of the city and the region is always analyzed and evaluated. The press was also invited to the beginning of Tuesday’s meeting, as the 2023 Accident Prevention Award was presented in a ceremonial setting. This year, the committee awarded this recognition to teacher Hajnalka Horváthné Ottinger.

As police officer László Kőhalmi, secretary of the committee, said at the presentation of the award, he had the opportunity to personally get to know Hajnalka Horváthné Ottinger at Móricz Zsigmond Primary School, who taught at this institution from 2013 and later became its director. The children’s “Hajni aunt” has been teaching the youth of the future for thirty years. In his work, he has always placed great emphasis on the transfer of traffic safety knowledge, so that the students can travel independently and confidently, either on foot or by bicycle or scooter, with sufficient knowledge. The teacher currently works at the primary school in Kulci, but she still treats it as a priority to teach young people the basics of correct and safe traffic. Here, too, he patronizes “Let’s travel together, take care of each other!” (KEVE) accident prevention educational program: this is an educational method in which the police and teachers complement each other and interactively, in a playful framework, teach elementary school students about safe traffic in an ascending system, from recognizing traffic signs to the correct use of public transportation. .
