Road Safety Week 2012

Industry News : 20 November 2012

It’s National Road Safety Week! The week is co-ordinated by Brake, the road safety charity, and raises awareness about the 5 deaths and 66 serious injuries which take place every day on UK roads, causing emotional trauma to families and communities. 

Brake is launching a new campaign today called GO20, which will raise awareness about the benefits of slowing down to 20mph around schools, homes and shops.  It’s a life-saver because it gives you a good chance of stopping in time in an emergency.

If you drive, you can make a huge difference now, by making a simple pledge: stay well within limits, and slow down to 20 around homes, schools and shops, even where the limit is still 30. You will be helping to protect people, doing your bit for your community and you’ll hardly notice the difference to your journey time. In fact, you may find journeys smoother, less stressful, and you may use less petrol.
