Gloucestershire Safe & Social Driving

[Glos OPCC @Glos_OPCC]

Over the last 5 years in Gloucestershire, 23% of drivers caught using a phone at the wheel were commercial drivers.

Using a handheld phone whilst behind the wheel is illegal and could cost you more than your licence, including your job and livelihood. #SafeAndSocialDriving

Our @GlosPolSpecOps team are running regular patrols as part of our anti drink drug drive campaign. Why not give them a follow to see what they’re up to in your area? #SafeAndSocialRoads

We launched our Christmas anti-drink and drug drive campaign yesterday. As the experts say, the message is as relevant as ever. Please take notice and make it #none fortheroad #safeandsocialroads #fatal4 #dontdrinkanddrive

This week we’re highlighting tips for older drivers, who might be nervous about getting back behind the wheel after lockdown.

We think this is a great initiative in support of #SafeAndSocialRoads.

“What a fantastic initiative” says
MP @gregsmith_uk of the Under 17 Car Club Charitable Trust & @U17Pathfinder as part of the @CommonsTrans inquiry this morning. We believe so! #SafeAt17 #YoungAndNoviceDrivers https://t.co/kDhfBk2aXK

We'd like to hear your thoughts on roads policing. This survey only takes 60-seconds and could be really helpful for the future of traffic law enforcement.

Do you ever just ‘take a chance’ after you’ve had a drink?

On average, 3,000 people are killed or seriously injured each year in the UK in drink drive related collisions. So no matter how short your journey is, don’t risk it.

Family and friends play a vital role in preventing their loved ones from drink driving. So if you're hosting a BBQ or garden party this summer, try to provide a range of soft drinks or ‘mocktails’ to help designated drivers get into the party spirit without drinking alcohol.

Sunshine, Socialising, Sober? ☀️
We know reuniting with family and friends over summer will be an exciting time, but let’s remember to stay safe. Don’t ‘just have one’. Don’t drink and drive. #SafeAndSocialDriving @glosssdriving
