ROAD SAFETY MESSAGE

Check your tyres regularly to ensure they are safe. These are the only contact between you and the road. They require the correct amount of tread and tyre pressure to adhere to the road.

Inspect your windscreen. Over a period of time, the glass is sandblasted from road grime and not often noticeable. When full sun hits damaged glass, it can be impossible to see through, as is the same result during heavy rain.

Make sure all of your lights are working. Not only do you need to see where you are going, you need to be sure others know where you are and what your intentions are.

Keep your fuel tank topped up. The stress of possibly running out of fuel or actually doing so causes accidents.

Mobile phones are a distraction. Please use hands free when it is necessary to have a phone conversation while driving.

Many people enjoy an alcoholic drink in moderation. This is fine, but, DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE.
