Abit of morning drawing from LFRS number 1 fan 😍..
L12P2 - down the the reg and everything 🤣
FF- Arnold and FF- Lyden (Daddy) in the front too 😅
It really doesn’t need to be like this☹️
Maintenance of your vehicle should be as important as the job you’re on your way to complete!🔧
Driver will be prosecuted for the tyre offences, when a #WalkAroundCheck would have discovered defects 👀

Can’t you tell daddy is a @LancashireFRS firefighter 😍
Inspiring the next generation of female firefighters in this household 🚒
I am the wife of a retained firefighter and this is just normal life for us 🤣..
It can be very hard at times as a family having to stick to the same area and not go far if he’s on call but it’s all worth it to see him keep people safe 🚒🫶🏻
To all the whole time, on call and retired firefighters out there. THANK YOU, your bravery is remarkable. You should all be so proud. 😊

We rightly focus on the @RoadPeace challenge and @Brakecharity conference this week, and this impactful photograph - 1766 road deaths in 2022.
It is also right to focus on the professionals who have to deal with the consequences of road crashes - the first responders - paramedics, fire, police, medics, ambulance, highways etc. and those further down the treatment pathway - A&E, trauma teams, surgeons, nurses, full MDT etc. and many others such as FLOs knocking on doors, medics telling relatives their loved one has died, the list is very very long.
So, it is right we also focus on their wellbeing and hope their professional organisations shout about avoiding road crashes to stop their exposure to terrible scenes.

Don’t get kicked down by having defective or bald tyres.
Just taking some time to check them before you go on your usual journeys may just save you from a breakdown 🔧 , some points and a fine👮 or even worse from being involved in a crash 😞.
It only takes roughly 2-5 minutes to check all four of your tyres tread, condition and pressure.
Or better yet visit your local TyreSafe supporter who wil do you a FREE tyre safety check!

Proud to be a part of this with @WarksRoadSafety. For a road safety partnership to take “Garage Anxiety” seriously means so much and is a great turning point for the automotive industry.
Not only does it encourage other garages to promote road safety within their customers it also creates more safe spaces for drivers.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Kate Castle from @WCCSafe_Active will presenting on behalf of the partnership at @Tyresafe Briefing and award conference in June. She will be speaking about our collaborative work with @FreshDriversUK on garage anxiety.
#FatalFour - Week 2: This week, we turn to the subject of driving under the influence of drink or drugs. There is no safe limit for the amount of alcohol you can have before driving. There is also no way of knowing how long it will take for alcohol to be processed by your body.
Vehicle stopped for, from behind having a reg plate not conforming. Led to a number of offences and defects being found. Front bumper hanging off, scraping on the road, tyre without tread. Driver was in Preston heading to Birmingham. Vehicle prohibited, driver reported #T3RPU
