Speeding is believed to be one of the biggest factors in road casualties and deaths involving young people. Don't become a statistic. Cut your speed and stay focused on the road.

The sun can be blinding when you're driving. Take it easy on the roads, keep a pair of sunglasses in the car, and make sure your screen is clear.

Every year, people are needlessly killed in road collisions because they weren't wearing a seatbelt. Passengers account for many of the fatalities. Drivers, always make sure you and your passengers are securely fastened in before you set off.

Teaching your children to cycle doesn't end when they can ride a bike. Parents, talk to your kids regularly about staying safe on the roads. Drivers, look out for pedestrians and cyclists and be prepared for people stepping out.

If you've got children in the back of the car, don't let them distract you. Keep your eyes on the road. Make sure they're safely buckled in before you set off.

There are more people out jogging in the spring and summer months. 🚗 Drivers, slow down in built-up areas, and watch out for people on foot and cyclists. 🚶 Pedestrians, don't be distracted by your phone or block out the sound of cars with earphones.

It's not only your car that can benefit from an MOT. In the UK, drivers must meet specific standards of vision to drive. Regular eye tests can help prevent collisions and ensure motorists are fit for the roads.

The right riding gear not only provides crucial protection from injuries in the event of a collision, but it will also protect you from the sun, rain, wind and debris.

Think you have the best driving playlist? Prepare it before you set off. Using your mobile whilst driving could ultimately lead to: ❌ a £200 fixed penalty notice ❌ six points on your licence ❌ a fatality

Don't get caught out by the sun when driving 🌞 Keep a pair of sunglasses in your car and slow down if the sun is obscuring your view. Watch out for cyclists and people stepping out.
