As a service we work with the North Yorkshire Police and the 95 Alive York & North Yorkshire Road Safety Partnership to reduce the number of casualties on our roads.
Our messaging around road safety aligns with the national Fatal 5 campaign, these are
- Inappropriate speed
- Using a mobile whilst driving
- Not wearing a seatbelt
- Drink and/or drug driving
- Careless driving
REMEMBER
- Remember speed is one of the main factors in fatal road accidents
- Remember you are 4 times more likely to crash if you use a mobile whilst driving and your reaction times are 50% slower
- Remember drivers and passengers who fail to wear seatbelts are breaking the law and could be fined up to £500
- Remember you are twice as likely to die in a road accident if you are not wearing a seatbelt
- Remember if you are caught drink driving you will be banned from the road for at least 12 months and fined up to £5,000
More information can be found on the 95 Alive Roadwise website and the road safety section of the North Yorkshire Police website.
