Lockdown eases but motorists must remain vigilant
As lockdown eases across England, Sally Lines, CEO of Road Safety Trust reminds motorists to be vigilant and observe the rules of the road.
“With a new sense of normality starting and many people returning to work, make sure that you are still obeying the rules of the road. Every day five people are killed on UK roads. Speeding is a major cause of crashes and a criminal offence, punishable by prosecution with points to your licence or a fine.
“Drivers need to remain extra vigilant, the usage of the roads may have changed since the beginning of lockdown, with new cycle lanes being introduced to many cities. Additionally, active travel is being encouraged by the Government so there will be more cyclists, pedestrians and now e-scooters on the roads.
“Don’t be afraid to stand up for slowing down. Kill your speed, don’t let your speed kill you.”
