Check the changes, let’s keep each other safe. #HighwayCode

Remember it’s the tyre’s tread that clears water from the road surface to keep a vehicle in contact with the road and to give it at least some grip on snow and ice. The lower the tread depth, the lower that grip might be.

Don’t let bicycle security put you off using your bike for everyday journeys. 🔒 It only takes a relatively small investment and just a little bit of thought to keep your bicycle safe from theft.
Here's some tips on how you can keep your bike secure.

What's the rush? With children now back at school it’s more important than ever to watch your speed. #DriveSmart.

[RoadSafetyNEScotland @RoadSafetyNES]

However you define it, 'driver error' unfortunately features prominently among the causation factors for many serious and fatal north east road traffic collisions. Two little words that can have devastating consequences. Please use our roads safely.

[TyreSafe @Tyresafe]

Make sure your tyres aren’t going down, by checking their pressure each month and before long journeys. You will need to remember to adjust your pressure if you are setting off with additional passengers and load (for example on a family holiday).
