Imagine the scene,
the sun is out, ☀️

If you choose to drive home your perfect day is going to become your worst nightmare !! 🚓 🤕

Hit by a car at 20mph 9 out of 10 pedestrians will survive.
At 30 mph, about half of the pedestrians will be killed.
At 40mph 9 out of 10 pedestrians will be killed.
Taking off those extra mph is vital in reducing fatalities on our roads. ☑️

Young drivers aged 17-25 are the most likely to be seriously injured or killed in collisions. 🤕
Part of this is risky behaviour encouraged by peers. If you are in a vehicle with a young driver make sure that everyone is wearing a seat belt.

People often ask why we 'waste' time enforcing on the roads. The reality is that speeding, impaired driving, using mobile phones and not wearing seat belts causes serious injury and death.
Saving lives and preventing injury is not a waste of time.

Drugs can remain in your body for a significant amount of time and there is no way of knowing whether you are still affected. This means that it can continue to impact your driving.
If you are taking illegal drugs please do not drive. 🥺

We can't be everywhere but we'll be somewhere!
Beware all drink and drug drivers, those using mobiles whilst driving, anyone not wearing a seatbelt and those who speed because you don't know where we might appear! 🫣

A new driver can have their driving licence revoked in the first two years if they get 6 points.
Having a licence is a privilege with responsibilities, you need to drive in a way that keeps you and others safe. ✅

Our camera vans are designed to be seen. You must be distracted if you get caught by one of these! Not only do they monitor speed they also record anyone using a mobile phone. Make sure it's not you. Put the phone down and keep your eyes on the road! 👍

Many people don't realise that legal drugs can impair your driving.
Do your prescription medicines make you drowsy? You should not drive if affected.
Please ask your GP and check for side effects to ensure you are safe to be on the road. 👍
