Make sure you completely de-ice/mist the windows on your vehicle before starting your journey. If you can't see properly you put more vulnerable road users at risk! #ThursdayThoughts #RoadSafety

Remember you only have to have your phone in your hand to be breaking the law! If using a SatNav, you need to ensure hands free access at all times or you could risk losing your license! #HonestTruthUK #SmallChangesSaveLives

When the #sun is low in the sky it can have a dazzling effect! Keep your windscreen clean and a pair of sunglasses in your vehicle to help ensure you can see clearly. #MondayMotivation #RoadSafety

Eating and drinking whilst driving is a risky business that could lead to a serious or fatal collision. Take a break or wait until you have reached your destination. It could save a life #LookOutForEachOther

In #windy weather please take extra care when driving near #cyclists, sudden gusts of wind can force them off course so don't get too close and only pass when you're certain it's safe to do so. #TuesdayThoughts #TuesdayMotivation #RoadSafety #StormHelene

[roadtozero @roadtozero]

Driving today? Before you leave, check your tyres for tread depth and correct pressure. Good tyres help reduce risk on your journeys. What will you do for road safety today? Please share and help make Europe’s roads safer. #ProjectEDWARD

Balance your SPEED to safe SPACE between all other road users by DISTRACTION-FREE observation & forward planning.
