The THINK BIKE THINK BIKER TV advert encourages drivers to look out for motorcyclists. Watch the video and next time you drive, pay extra attention and give another look, for motorcyclists. https://t.co/doYDk9gyYa

If you suspect a drink or drug driver, call it in. Luckily this drink driver was arrested before anyone came to harm https://t.co/q0iCRtTx2A

The mini beast from the east continues to cause hazardous road conditions, with fresh snow still falling in many places. Only travel today if completely necessary.

Stopping distances increase when the roads are wet - leave space and slow down

How often do you hear, or even use the phrase 'watch where you are going' when out with youngsters? Very wise words, put the phone away and give the road the attention it needs. #rolemodels #fatal4

Its a speed limit, not a target. Always drive in a manner that allows you to stop in the distance you see to be clear

The rain is causing standing water on many roads. Slow down to avoid possible hydroplaning.

How many colour changes did you see in the latest card trick video? Very impressive if you spotted one or more of them!

Today THINK! has launched their latest Drink Drive campaign - a mate doesn't let a mate drink drive. Take heed. https://t.co/8p9Wzxq0p3.

An interesting video to watch, showing that our mind tends to concentrate on one specific task. Relating this to using the road, we always need to see the bigger picture. https://t.co/sBwvpcKYfg

Driving is a lifelong skill, we have information that is useful for everyone. Know someone who would benefit from a refresher drive? https://t.co/BvkYYOv2mX

with localised flooding and some damage to road surfaces as a result of the poor weather, take even more care around vulnerable road users

[NY Rides @NY_Rides]

Heed Met Office weather warnings, paying particular attention to potential freezing rain, causing lethal road conditions. https://t.co/cuNUaWxO08

Be sensible when choosing your route to travel, whilst the Beast From The East continues to cause disruptions. Check for updates before setting off.

[NY Rides @NY_Rides]

Teams of gritters and snowploughs are out doing all they can to keep the traffic moving, but they cannot compensate for a poor set of tyres on your vehicle. Worn tyres, underinflated tyres, even tyres that are good condition but not designed for winter conditions will struggle.

[NY Rides @NY_Rides]

If your journey is essential today make sure you have warm clothing, food and drink in case you are stuck for any reason. Stay safe. #beastoftheeast

[NY Rides @NY_Rides]

Clean the snow from your roof before you set off, that way there is no risk to you or any other road user.

[NY Rides @NY_Rides]

Do you know your stopping distances? Take a look at the chart, but remember in wet or icy conditions, they increase by up to ten times.

This could be us next week! Over the weekend make sure your vehicle is prepared for Winter Driving conditions. Check out the link on the Roadwise website.. https://t.co/XZdxl8Xt8b
