Road Safety Week

The 23rd – 29th November is road safety week, coordinated by road safety charity, Brake. With five fatalities and 64 serious injuries occurring every day on British roads, this week-long event aims to promote safer road use.

This year's Road Safety Week theme is 'Drive Less, Live More', with the aim of encouraging people to think about their car use, and consider sustainable travel as an alternative. 

As a proud sponsor of Brake, we frequently blog about staying safe on Britain’s busy roads. In this post, we’ve rounded up some of our top road safety blogs, packed with tips for all road users.

If you can't avoid using your car, you can still make a contribution to Road Safety Week, and road safety in general, by asking yourself ‘how can I be a safer driver?’ From knowing your speed limits to keeping your distance from other vehicles, this blog post provides detailed information about how to ensure that you minimise the risks that your driving poses to yourself, and other road users.

For those who are opting to cycle as a more sustainable means of transport, it is essential to be aware of road safety, especially in the darker, winter months. From wearing the right gear to maintaining your bike during the winter months, our safety tips for cyclists when the clocks go back will help you stand out on the roads.

Doing the school run by car can be stressful, congested and time consuming. Why not try walking your children to school?
