Most people caught drink driving probably regret their decision to drive after drinking alcohol. They have to live with the consequences of their actions.

Ultimately though, this is entirely avoidable.

Drinking alcohol? Don't drive.
Driving? Don't drink alcohol.

Please ensure you are fully aware of the height of your vehicle before attempting to drive under a bridge.

This is particularly important if you’re travelling on a different route or driving a different vehicle than you usually would.

After completing CBT you can ride a moped if you’re 16 or over, or a motorcycle up to 125cc and with a power output of up to 11kW if you’re 17 or over.

You can then work towards your full moped (AM) or motorcycle (A1, A2, or A) licence.

Tailgating is when you’re not keeping a safe gap between your vehicle and the vehicle in front.

If you leave an insufficient gap and the vehicle in front brakes suddenly, you may not be able to stop in time.

When it's dry, leave at least a 2 second gap. In the wet, double it.

Do you know when your MOT runs out?

You can sign up to get free reminders by text message or email when your MOT is due. Find out more here: gov.uk/mot-reminder

You could be fined up to £1,000 for driving a vehicle without a valid MOT.

If you suspect someone is drink or drug driving, day or night, please report it immediately to the police on 101 (or 999 if they are posing imminent danger)

Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111

Thank you very much to everyone who has already done this

Quality kit can save your skin.

Take a good look at your kit - is it in need of replacement?

Make sure it fits, is comfortable to wear and doesn’t restrict movement.

How are you feeling today?
Your physical, psychological and emotional health play a major part in your fitness to drive.
To drive well and reduce the risk of a collision requires your full concentration.
If you don't feel well, avoid driving today.

When you see a horse and rider or horse and carriage using the road, please:

At traffic lights, there may be special signals for pedestrians.

Please only start to cross the road when the green figure shows.

If you have started to cross the road and the green figure goes out, you should still have time to reach the other side, but do not delay.

You can’t concentrate on the road and your mobile phone at the same time.

Turn your phone off or switch it to silent before you get in your vehicle - if you forget and it starts ringing while you’re on the move, ignore it and wait until you find somewhere safe to pull over.

Close passes are very intimidating and can easily put people off cycling.

Drivers, please be courteous and imagine it was one of your family on that bike.

Pass only when safe to do so, leaving a 1.5 metre gap as a minimum.

We are used to securing ourselves and our family by wearing seat belts or using child car seats

Securing a load when using a goods vehicle is also essential to ensure your cargo arrives undamaged and isn't a danger to road users

Insecure loads can have devastating consequences

⚠️A yellow weather warning is in place⚠️

There could be strong and potentially disruptive winds through Monday.

If you're travelling, please keep a look out for debris on the carriageway and pavements.

If you're a biker out for a ride, enjoy yourself, enjoy Wales, but don't take risks that could change your life or the lives of your family and friends forever.

Have you noticed a friend or relative that doesn’t always wear a seat belt in the rear of a taxi?

Please remind them that the law still applies and that seat belts can prevent or greatly reduce injuries if you’re unfortunate to be involved in a collision.

Thanks to everyone who has been able to walk, cycle or wheel to school today, even for part of the journey.

It really helps alleviate parking issues outside schools.

We get to teach our children how to stay safe and help prepare them for when they can travel independently.

All phone use takes your attention from the road, even if you're using bluetooth. Using a hands-free phone while driving is a significant distraction that substantially increases the risk of being involved in a collision.
