Good morning Resident

Vehicle Safety Reminder 🚗🍂

With the weather becoming more unpredictable and the darker mornings and evenings now here, please take a few moments to ensure both you and your vehicle are prepared before setting off.

✅ Drive to the conditions. Allow extra time for your journey, increase your stopping distance, and adjust your speed if visibility or road conditions are poor.

💡 Check your lights regularly. Make sure all headlights, brake lights, indicators, and number plate lights are working correctly so you can see and be seen.

🛞 Inspect your tyres. Check tread depth, tyre condition, and tyre pressures. Good tyres are essential for maintaining grip, especially in wet conditions.

🧽 Keep your windscreen clean. Ensure your windscreen, windows and mirrors are clear, and check that your wipers and washer fluid are working effectively.

⛽ Don't forget to fuel up. Running low on fuel can leave you stranded, particularly if traffic is heavy or road conditions worsen.

🚫 Never drive under the influence of drink or drugs. Even small amounts can impair your judgement, reaction times and ability to drive safely. If you're impaired, don't drive. Arrange alternative transport.

By carrying out a few simple checks and taking extra care on the roads, we can all help keep ourselves and others safe.

Stay safe and take care on your journeys. 🚔
