Meet Les. You can usually find him hosting his radio show or behind the DJ booth. He loves a ride out on his bike, too

Remember, there's a life on that bike - look twice, save a life 🏍️

[THINK! Road Safety @THINKgovuk]

Don’t let “I’ll be fine” put you at risk of hurting yourself or others as you head out this long weekend. The consequences of drink driving aren’t worth it. Stick to 0% if you'll be driving.

Speeding might save you a few minutes, but it could cost a life.

Slow down. Drive safe. Someone's waiting for you.

Grey Fleet compliance just got a whole lot easier.

Many organisations still don’t realise they hold the same legal responsibility for employees’ private vehicles used for business travel as they do for company‑owned vehicles. With an estimated 14 million grey fleet vehicles on UK roads, that’s a huge compliance gap, and a major risk.

That’s why we’ve launched Grey Fleet Checks within our Vision compliance platform.

This new functionality gives organisations a smarter, streamlined way to manage grey fleet compliance, including:

+ Real‑time DVLA licence validation
+ AI‑supported insurance checks confirming business use
+ Centralised storage of MOT, servicing and tax information
+ Customisable policy requirements (vehicle age, Euro status, CO₂ limits, mileage and more)

Grey Fleet Checks helps close that gap, reduce risk, and give organisations confidence that every vehicle used for business is safe, legal and compliant.

To mark the launch, we’re offering a 20% early‑adopter discount.

Is this a compulsory or advisory speed limit? Do you know the difference?

The speed limit on a road where you see this sign could be 40, 50 or the national speed limit for your vehicle. This sign is advisory. It is the recommended fastest speed to negotiate the upcoming bend safely. This could be because of the sharpness of the bend, the road narrows, the risk of oncoming traffic being in the middle of the road or many other reasons. It may also be accompanied by additional warnings signs.

Always remember that speed limits, whether advisory or compulsory, are limits not targets. Assess the conditions to the limits and if 20mph is the safest fastest speed…. drive at 20mph.

Regular eye tests help to keep you and others safe when you're behind the wheel.

If your health or fitness to drive changes, speak to your family and GP.

A simple chat could make all the difference.

[South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership (SYSRP) @SYSaferRoads]

Data shows that drink drivers are more likely to be men, aged 25 to 49, who are travelling alone. Offences are more likely to happen on 30mph roads because offenders are more likely to be travelling short distances close to home, such as returning from a licenced premises. Drink drive collisions are more likely to happen when it’s dark. Do you know someone who drink drives? Are You Mate Enough to have a word before it’s too late? #OpLimit

Heading out to the Christmas do? Leave the car keys at home and don't be tempted to drive under the influence of drink or drugs #NoneForTheRoad

[Police Scotland Safety Cameras @PSOSSafetyCam]

Talking to your kids about safe driving is one of the critical chats that parents need to get right, for the safety of their child and anyone else that’s on the road while they’re behind the wheel.

Make sure your young driver is prepared and responsible.
