The Chief Fire Officers Association Road Safety Week starts today (Monday) running until Sunday.
Fire and Rescue Services across the country will be working with local partners to engage with as many people as possible, communicating important road safety messages to at-risk groups, and showcasing the work the fire and rescue service does in this area.
The Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service Road Safety Team will be at Tesco in Ryde tomorrow (10th June) and St Thomas Square in Newport on Wednesday from 100:00 to 13:00. The team will be there to give road safety advice to all road users – pedestrians, car drivers, cyclists and motorbike users.
Cyclists – Be seen, be safe.
- Get yourself noticed with hi-vis and a helmet.
Motorcyclists – Be safe, hydrate.
- Dehydration is a hidden danger. It affects your concentration and your reaction time.
Pedestrians – Look out, listen up.
- Be aware when you’re out there.
Young drivers – Dangerous distractions.
- Be smart – keep your i on the road.
