The summer months often see more people heading out for holidays, festivals and days out. We are asking drivers and road users to take care on the roads as part of our #SaferSummerRoads campaign.
The primary aim of the campaign is centred around preventing speeding and increasing awareness around the dangers of speeding.
As motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians are usually out more during this period, the campaign is also concentrating on being aware of other roads users and the safety of motorcyclists in particular.
We want everyone to take personal responsibility for their own and others safety on the roads. Follow our safety advice to make sure you have an enjoyable but safe summer.
Speeding is one of the major contributing factors in road traffic collisions. If you speed you are more likely to be involved in a crash and the chances of serious injury or death are greatly increased. Speeding is often a factor in collisions and, in the last three years, speed contributed to 32 per cent of crashes in which someone died or was seriously injured.
We think that’s reason enough to slow down when driving!
As motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians are usually out more during this period it is important to remember to be aware of other road users. All road users should be treated with respect, and we should all pay attention to those who are most vulnerable on the roads to make sure we all get home safely. We all know a vulnerable road user, so we need to give them the time and space to use the road safely.
There will be young people out and about enjoying their time off school and we want them to be as safe as possible. Educate your children and teenagers about road safety
