🍂 Driving Safely in Autumn: Time for a Driver MOT?
📅 Sat 26 Sept, 10-11am | FREE Zoom webinar
📝 Register: https://t.co/wGlmCinF66
We make sure our cars receive an MOT, but what about ourselves? A ‘Driver MOT’ is not a test. It is a friendly opportunity to consider whether one or two small changes could make driving safer and more comfortable in autumn.

Autumn brings low sun, glare, heavy rain, wet leaves, fog and the first frosts. Join us for practical advice on:
👓 The driver; eyesight, mobility, medication and confidence
🔋 The vehicle; battery, lights, wipers and tyres
🗺️ The journey; weather, timing, routes and knowing when to postpone
🎤 IAM RoadSmart examiner Mike Addis will also share insights from Mature Driver Reviews.

🚴 Taking bikes away this summer?
Before you set off, check your cycle rack isn't blocking your lights, indicators or number plate.
✅ Lights visible
✅ Indicators working
✅ Number plate clear
✅ Bikes securely fastened
A quick walk-around check can help keep every journey safe.

DID YOU KNOW? At 50mph, wet braking distances increased by 6.9m on tyres with 1.6mm compared to new tyres with 8mm tread. Don’t wait until your tyres reach the legal minimum. #TyreSafety

Heading to a beer garden with your mates? 🍺
Do the right thing to keep everyone safe - never let your friends or family get behind the wheel after drink or drugs.

Country roads demand extra care.
Be prepared for slow-moving farm vehicles, cyclists, horse riders, pedestrians and mud on the road.
Slow down, especially at bends, junctions and when entering villages.
Rule 154 The Highway Code NI

Nobody is impressed by a speeding or dangerous driver.
Do the right thing and look after others on the roads. Stay below the speed limit, drive for the conditions, and don't be distracted.

The path to a polio-free world remains fragile & unfinished warns Deepak Kapur, chair of India's National PolioPlus Committee. True success is measured not just by the absence of the disease, but by the strength of the systems that prevent its return. https://t.co/Mvj2xocZTj

"Lewis was so friendly, nice and respectful towards our school. He asked lots of questions and showed us examples by using jokes but still keeping it factual. Taught our year about knife crime and we all learned a lot"

[Road Safety GB NE @RSGB_NE]

More than half of road collisions involving cyclists are caused by the driver simply failing to see them.

Drivers, remember to take a second look for bikes before pulling out of a junction and always give cyclists at least 1.5m space when overtaking.

🚨 Safety Alert: Paws Off for Safety! 🐾

While stray dogs can look like they just need a friend or a belly rub, approaching them can be unpredictable and dangerous. Whether you're at the park or on the street, remember these key safety tips to keep yourself-and the dogs-safe.

[Road Safety Wales @RoadSafetyWales]

Do you know how to report a pothole on our road networks?

There are several ways to report potholes.

Motorways and Trunk roads can be reported through Traffic Wales.

For all other roads, potholes should be reported to your local council.

Don’t just drive by, get it reported.

❄️🚗Winter is here. Is your vehicle ready?

Quick winter checks:
🔧Engine oil – between min & max
🛑Brake fluid – check levels
🌡️Coolant – correct level + antifreeze
💦Washer fluid – use anti-freeze mix

A 5-minute check can prevent breakdowns and keep you safe on icy roads.
