Bikers, you've no idea what's round the corner so slow down and give yourself time to react.

Be ready to meet cyclists and slow-moving vehicles when you least expect them on rural roads.

As the lighter nights are here, children will be playing out and more cyclists and bikers will be on the roads.

Drivers, slow down, take a second look before pulling out, and always be prepared for people stepping out.

Pedestrians are much more likely to survive a road collision if the car is travelling at 30mph or less.

Drivers, slow down, drive below the speed limit, and look for people stepping out - it could save a life.

Pedestrians, look twice before stepping out.

Drivers, slow down and always take a second look for bikes.

Drivers, always look twice for cyclists and bikers before pulling out of a junction. Cyclists, wear something bright and use your lights, even in the summer.
