As the weekend approaches, THINK! is reminding young men to not let the pressure to speed get to them. Watch your speed, drive to the conditions, and be the mate that gets there safely. #IsPushingItWorthIt

You might think you’re fine driving on drugs, but drugs mess with your focus and judgment. You’re putting yourself and your friends at risk. THINK! Don’t put drugs in the driving seat.

🌦 🚗 Longer days don’t always mean safer journeys.

Before you head out, remember to:

🚗 Top–up - Fuel, oil, screen wash and charge your EV.
🚗 Rest - Take a break every 2 hours.
🚗 Inspect - Check your lights and tyres.
🚗 Prepare - Plan for weather changes.

Fun weekend plans? Here's something to remember as you head out: alcohol can affect you differently each time you drink. Even if you feel fine, you could be over the limit. If you’re driving, stick to 0% and stay 100% safe. THINK! #DrinkALittleRiskALot

Brighter days are here, and that could mean more people out walking, cycling or riding 🚴🚶🏍️

Remember, as a driver, you have a responsibility to look out for those more vulnerable.

Stay alert. Help keep everyone safe.

Drug driving is no joke. 46% of young people know someone who has driven after taking drugs - despite penalties including up to six months in prison and at least a year driving ban. THINK! Don’t put drugs in the driving seat.

Brighter days mean more time on the road. Drugs can stay in your system for days — longer than many young men realise. You could still fail a police drug test.

Make it easy for an HGV driver to see you by moving out of areas of limited vision as soon as it’s safe to do so.
