roadrespect

Lets change driving culture in North East England by encouraging greater respect between road users.

Alcohol affects everyone differently and any amount can impair your ability to drive. 🧍🏼‍♀️🧍🧍‍♂️

🚫The only safe option is to avoid alcohol completely if you're driving as even 'just one drink' could put you over the limit.🚫

⏰It may take longer than you think for alcohol to leave your system.⏰
On average it takes
🍺 1 pint of lager = 3 hours
🍷 1 large glass of wine = 3 hours
The best thing to do is avoid any alcohol if you're driving. ✋🚗

✋Drug takers – there’s nowhere to hide! ✋

Officers can test for cannabis and cocaine at the roadside, and screen for other drugs including ecstasy, LSD, ketamine and heroin - at a police station. 👮‍♂️🚓

🚨Remember it can take up to 12 hours for your system to be alcohol free. 🚨

If you've been out drinking, you may still be affected by alcohol the next day and could lose your licence if you drive and are still over the legal limit. ✋🚗

🚫Know your limits.🚫

You might not be safe to drive the morning after an evening of drinking. You might feel fine, but there still might be enough alcohol in your system to put you over the limit.

Be safe, don’t take the risk. ✋🚗

🚫Know your limits.🚫

A good night sleep can do wonders, but it doesn’t mean you are safe to drive. 😴🚫🚗
Having an extra pint at 10pm means you may need to wait until at least 9:45am before you are safe to drive.

🚫 Know your limits 🚫

Do you know how much will tip you over the limit? 🍺🍹🍷✋
If you are driving it is always safer to simply not drink as any amount of alcohol will impair your driving ability. 🚗

Night time driving #3

Watch out for children, cyclists and animals
Vulnerable road users such as children, the elderly and cyclists are at increased risk at this time of year.

Keep your speed down and always be on your guard for any unexpected movements.

#2 You should use your full beam on unlit country roads to help you see the road layout more clearly, but if you encounter another vehicle, switch back to dipped beam straight away so that you don’t dazzle them.

Nighttime Driver Tips #1

The way you use your lights is hugely important too. Turn dipped headlights on about an hour before sunset & keep them on an hour after sunrise to ensure you’re always clearly visible to other road users.
