Annually over 30,000 people are killed or seriously injured on teh UK's roads. This is the equivalent of a medium-sized UK town suffering a catastrophic burden of injury every year.
Towns with this sort of population: Newark, Newton Abbot, Deal, Egham

No matter the length of your journey, you should always wear a seatbelt. Not doing so can increase your chances of being injured or worse. Here's our Traffic Officer Sian Plant explaining more about this.

Drivers who hog the middle lane can cause unnecessary disruption. When you use the middle-lane for overtaking, make sure you return to the left-hand lane when it's safe to do so.

Pleased to see driver behaviour like this being addressed, unfortunately we know it happens up and down the country.

[Road Safety West Mercia @WMerciaRoads]

“NO PHOTOGRAPHS PLEASE. You will have to speak to my agent first.”
This motorist decided to make their feelings known as they drove past a speed camera in Shropshire recently. By doing so, they committed an offence of not being in a position to have full view of the road.

[Brake, the road safety charity @Brakecharity]

Licensing changes have reduced deaths in other countries and are long overdue in Britain, write road safety experts including @ian_m_greenwood @sjblakemore @elizabethcbox @ProfKevinFenton @drpamhardy @NealeKinnear @AndrewMorris203 @timnutbeam @ianwalker

If you are involved in a car crash, you’re twice as likely to survive if you’re wearing a seat belt.

Belt up and keep yourself safe.

[South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership (SYSRP) @SYSaferRoads]

Our partners @SYPOperations have been out & about all this week working to prevent serious & fatal collisions. Using a mobile phone while driving is both illegal & dangerous. Distracted drivers are more likely to be involved in a collision. Please don't risk it. @syptweet @SYFR

Zoë Carvin was killed in 2006 when a lorry driver crashed into queuing traffic while reading a text on his mobile. That day, the Carvin family lost a loving mother & wife. The family shared their heart-breaking story about how one driver changed their lives forever. #noexcuse
