Belt up on every journey
Always wear your seat belt and make sure your passengers do too, FRONT AND BACK. And in taxi’s too.

Protect your neck
Adjust your head restraint and save yourself from whiplash or even a broken neck.

Keep your distance
Always keep a 2 second gap between you and the car in front. When stationary do the “tyres and tarmac” checks.

Slow down
Remember a speed limit is not a target! Adjust your speed accordingly around schools, in poor weather conditions and when visibility is reduced.

Concentrate
Just a moment’s distraction can kill. Give the job of driving your full attention.

Take a break
Never drive whilst tired. On long journeys stop for at least a 15 minute break every 2 hours.

Switch it off
No conversation, or text message, is more important than your life or someone else’s. Don’t use your mobile phone whilst driving.

Don’t drink and drive
Alcohol impairs your driving, even a small amount. Think carefully if you’re safe to drive the morning after too.

Anticipate and Observe
Look once, look twice, THINK BIKE. Look out for all types of other road users.

Look after your car
Regularly check the following on your car: oil, water, tyres, lights. It is your responsibility to keep your car roadworthy.
