There are exemptions to wearing a seatbelt and most drivers who have an exemption still wear one. Why? Because they save lives.

So why do so many people without an exemption not wear one?

#SeatbeltsSaveLives #Fatal4

No matter the length of your journey, you should always wear a seatbelt. Not doing so can increase your chances of being injured or worse. Here's our Traffic Officer Sian Plant explaining more about this.

Every time you get behind the steering wheel of a vehicle or onto a motorbike you have a choice.

Choose life. #Fatal4

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.

Did you know that you are more likely to be involved in a collision as the result of a person driving for work than you are a drink driver?

Take regular breaks and ensure a supply of fresh air into your vehicle.

Driving or riding too fast for the road conditions contributes to one third of road collisions. The speed limit is the absolute maximum and does not mean that it is safe to drive or ride at that speed in all conditions. #barnsley #doncaster #sheffield #rotherham #fatalfour

On this International Day of Happiness, make sure your vehicle is as ready for the sunshine as you are!

How is it Monday again? It's true - there is no way of safely using a mobile phone while driving. Our brains don't work like that. If you're distracted, anything could go wrong. The best drivers put their phones away. Thank you to all those superheroes. South Yorkshire Police SYP Ops Support

Ever heard or used the phrase “I can’t see for looking”?

It can apply to handsfree phone use when driving. A conversation can distract you to the point you are looking at the road but NOT seeing.

Sometimes called inattentive blindness. Keep your eyes AND mind on the road

Don’t let the pressure to push your speed get to you – your mates will still be there. So, watch your speed and drive to the conditions.

Be the mate that gets there. Is pushing your
speed worth it?

#IsPushingItWorthIt

It takes about 5 seconds to look at your phone whilst driving, read a message then back to the road and regain situational awareness.

At 40mph that’s the length of a football pitch blindfolded. #DistractedDrivingKills
