Driving

Here are 5 key points for safer driving:

Watch your speed – remember streetlights mean 30mph unless otherwise signed
Keep your distance – only a fool breaks the 2 second rule
Be alert – concentrate and look for hazards and other road users
THINK before you act.  Is it safe?  Mirrors – Signal – Manoeuvre
Check your vehicle regularly – brakes, tyres, lights, wipers & washers
