If I see a horse on the road then I will… 🏇 Slow down to a maximum of 10mph 🚗 Be patient – I won’t sound my horn or rev my engine Pass the horse wide and slow, (if safe to do so) at least a car’s width if possible Drive slowly away 👍

A rush hour speed deployment in an area notorious as a rat run and I’m pleased to report that everyone was driving safely and within the speed limit. Evidence that over time, #CSW can educate, influence and change driver behaviour in our communities! #ThankYou

Stay safe on the roads while you drive - Put your phone away and don't drive while you're tired. 🤳🚗🏍 Your phone can notify people when you're driving with an automated message, letting them know that you'll contact them on arrival - handy for minimising FOMO 😎👍

So, you think you can ride? If you're turning right, traffic going ahead has priority. Turning right on a green light? Turn right only when it is safe and when the right turning light comes on. 🏍️ 👍 More tips for 2 wheeled riding can be found here: newriderhub.net

"As a motorcyclist you're one of the most vulnerable road users... 🏍 My Dad always had bikes and that's where I got the bug from. When I turned 16, I got a 50cc and it just progressed naturally from there". 🏍 Being cautious is about staying safe.

Drivers, don't be tempted to park on the zigzags. They must be kept clear so children are visible when crossing the road.

With the kids back to school after the summer holidays, let’s all be extra careful when driving around schools and residential areas. 😎👀 Keep an eye out for children between cars, at crossings and at junctions or turnings. Not every pedestrian will be wearing high-viz clothing!

"When riding a bike, you have to be present. You can't be daydreaming or thinking about your to do list... When approaching a roundabout or junction, you've got to be prepared for everything".
