The road safety partnership working hard to drive down death and serious injuries in Devon & Cornwall

97% of people buckle up when they get in the car, the 3% that don't take a huge risk.

Don't be one of the 3%, buckle up on every trip, no matter how short

Heading out this Friday night?

Even if you are a multi tasking expert, while you're driving, any notifications and messages can wait until you arrive at your destination. Remember, a split second is all it takes to lose your awareness...

As the rainy weather sets in, it's worth paying extra attention to the road conditions while you're driving.

If roads have standing water, Aquaplaning is a real hazard. See what our friends at Tyre Safe say about checking and keeping your tyres in top condition

Your vehicle's tyres are in constant contact with the road, and we all know how bumpy and debris-filled the roads can be, so your tyres take a lot of abuse. Take a moment to check the condition of your tyres and make sure you're both tyre and road-safe! #tyresafetymonth

[Vision Zero South West @VisionZeroSW]

Under-inflated tyres can be a difference maker in how your vehicle handles, especially in wet weather. If the tyre pressure is too low it can also affect your mileage, so if you check your tyres, you can save money & be safe on the roads! It's a win-win! #tyresafetymonth

Some messages are best delivered by the people who have lived them. Crystal Owen & Nicola Bell-Percy reflect on the tragic deaths of their sons, Harvey & Aaron, who were killed in separate road crashes.

92% of people think Drink Driving is unacceptable....
Even if you don't get caught or aren't involved in any sort of collision, do you really want to take a chance and gamble with your own and other peoples lives on the road?

Safe mode on!

Driving distraction free and leaving those mobile phone notifications until you safely arrive at your destination is always the best way to drive rather than trying to drive and scroll... Stay safe on the road!

Seatbelts and Airbags are a great double act of safety in vehicles and are designed to work together. If you don't use a seatbelt, the lifesaving combo just won't work!

[Vision Zero South West @VisionZeroSW]

Don't let other road users impatience dictate YOUR speed!

Stay within the speed limits and drive confidently #opspotlight

We asked motorcyclists across Devon & Cornwall for their thoughts on using Protective Equipment (PPE) when riding - here's what they said...
