This week is Road Safety Week, and national road safety charity Brake are calling for people to 'Be a Road Safety Hero'.
How can you be a Road Safety Hero?
Whether we walk, ride or drive, we all have a responsibility to use roads safely to protect ourselves and others. Some things you could do include:
- Be bright, be seen. It's getting darker earlier, so however you are travelling, make sure you are visible to others.
- Teach and model good habits to children, such as wearing a helmet whilst cycling and scooting, crossing the road safely, keeping to speed limits and ditching distractions whilst driving.
- Regularly check your vehicle is safe and roadworthy.
- Only ride or drive if safe to do so.
- Respect all road users and rules, especially those whose job it is to make our roads safe.
