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
