Car Drivers

We must all take simple, practical steps to ensure the safety of every road user. It is vital to adhere to the following:

Always drive within the speed limit
This is the maximum allowable speed on the road under ideal conditions. This is not always a safe speed.
Always drive to the road conditions
Single carriage way rural roads present many dangers. 60mph is often not safe.
Always take care at junctions
Be patient and wait for an appropriate gap in traffic. Don’t take risks.
Always keep your distance from other vehicles
Only a fool breaks the two second rule.
Always wear your seatbelt
Ensure that you and all your passengers wear seatbelts. Ensure that babies and young children are correctly fastened in a properly fitted car seat.
Be considerate to other road users
Driving should be a pleasure, let us all make it so.
Never drive when you are tired
Never overtake on solid white lines
Never drink and drive
Never use a hand held mobile phone whilst driving
Be patient when overtaking
