Staying safe on the road these holidays
16th December 2024
It can be a stressful and busy time, so here are some timely reminders before you hit the road this season.
- Take time to make sure your vehicle is safe before you travel
- Where possible plan travel outside of peak periods
- Be alert to changes, check your route before you leave
- Enjoy the journey, take your time and allow time for rest stops
- Slow down, be patient and leave space between your vehicle and the one in front
- Drive to the conditions; according to weather, the road you’re on, traffic, road works, if you’re towing, the environment (urban areas, children present etc).
- Be alert for pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists
- Keep your cool and be courteous
- Enjoy the journey!
