Two-thirds of people killed or seriously injured in road traffic collisions here in NI occur on rural roads. All road users need to be aware of the particular vulnerabilities we all face when we travel on country roads. #YourRiskyDrivingCatchesUpWithYou @niroadpolicing DAERA

Take extra care at junctions Drivers- watch out for oncoming traffic, including people riding or walking, motorcyclists & powered wheelchairs/mobility scooters as they are not always easy to see. Be aware that they may not have seen/heard you if you are approaching from behind.

Drivers & Riders - Watch out for pedestrians crossing a road into which you are turning. If they have started to cross they have priority, so give way. Department for Infrastructure @niroadpolicing @hsenigov RoadSafeNI Charity @newdriverni

With the recent heavy rain, be aware of flooding and surface water. If your vehicle loses grip, or “aquaplanes”, take your foot off the accelerator to slow down. Do not brake or steer suddenly because you have less control of the steering & brakes. NI Road Policing and Safety @belharpolice

Speed doesn't need to be high to kill or seriously injure Speeding remains one of the biggest causes of deaths and serious injuries on NI roads #YouCanNeverControlTheConsequencesIfYouSpeed @niroadpolicing @nifrsofficial @nias999 @belharpolice @hsenigov RoadSafeNI Charity @newdriverni
