Top Tips to Stay Safe on the Roads
- Slow down near schools, shopping areas, and spots with nightlife like bars and clubs.
- Always signal and leave plenty of room when overtaking cyclists and motorbikes.
- Watch out before opening car doors—pedestrians and cyclists could be close by.
- Keep your lights on in poor visibility, not just at night, to see and be seen.
