thinkgovuk: Whether you walk, cycle, wheel, drive or horse ride.

Remember, those who can cause the greatest harm have the greatest responsibility to reduce the risk they may pose to others.

If you employ people who drive as part of their job, have you considered their health? Do they need a specific medical examination? This article 👇🏼 from the fab team at @DfBBprogramme answers those and other questions.

roadsafetyyny: It's tempting to look at messages when you're driving – put it away and stay focused o‌n the road! You miss a lot while glancing at your phone. At 30mph a car travels 100 feet in 2.3 seconds 📵 https://t.co/RHqMZFt91D

Driver Medicals & fitness to drive – what fleet managers and transport managers need to know.
A D4 medical, also known as a “Group 2 Medical,” is a driver medical examination required for professional drivers in the UK. Are you up to date? https://t.co/A6dbPJLcId #fleetmanagement

[SaferEssexRoads for Business @SERP_Business]

It is 40 years today that seat belt legislation was introduced in the UK. If you are responsible for drivers in a work setting, are you sure that they are staying legal? Does your policy cover this issue? If you need any advice just get in touch.

"Everyone uses the roads on a regular basis, or rely upon those who do, and we all have a right to do so safely.” See how @AmeyLtd are managing road risk and have reduced incidents by 33% over the last 3 years - https://t.co/YfPrXCgkSG

[National Highways: East @HighwaysEAST]

Please be aware of long delays on the #A120 eastbound in #Essex approaching the #A12 junction at #MarksTey.

This is due to temporary two-way traffic lights which are in place for @AnglianWater works.

The lights are due to be in place until the 1st February. Allow extra time.

What do you look for when you choose new cars for your fleet? We would recommend that a EuroNCAP 5* rating should be top of your wish list. Your colleagues are your most valauble asset, so why not protect them? #VisionZero @DfBBprogramme

[Euro NCAP @EuroNCAP]

Year in Numbers for 2022:
Centre airbags to reduce injuries in far-side crashes are one of the new safety elements that have recently been recognised. Of the 65 new cars examined, 47 (72%) came with standard front-seat centre airbags.

Are you checking the weights of your vehicles? Every police force has a commercial vehicle unit watching out for this stuff, @EPRoadsPolicing included. It could be an expensive oversight! #VisionZero

[BCH Road Policing Unit @roadpoliceBCH]

Morning. All vans overweight plus defects like no rear lights or tyres below the legal limit. Each vans roughly 800 kilos overweight. Just cause there's space, doesn't mean it can be filled to the rafters. #CRCVU.

Does your policy effectively cover mobile phone use? These figures from a recent event show that there are still some drivers making the wrong choice, don't let it be one of yours. #VisionZero

[SaferEssexRoads @SaferEssexRoads]

This afternoon 50% of vehicles being brought in are for #mobilephone related offences
80% of your concentration is taken from driving when you are distracted, #fatal4
