It's Brake, the road safety charity Road Safety Week. This year the focus is on road victims, raising awareness of the devastating impact of road collisions on families, friends and across communities. Road Safety Week is a great opportunity to focus everyone’s attention on making roads safer so that everyone can travel in a safe and healthy way. CLOCS is the national Standard for ensuring the safest construction vehicle journeys, reducing risk to vulnerable road users, improving air quality and congestion, and driving operational efficiencies. More than a third of UK road deaths involve someone who was driving for work. If you employ people who drive for work, you can play a vital role in preventing road collisions and reducing the risk of road death and harm, while improving your reputation and reducing costs. Over 5,500 vulnerable road users are killed or injured every year on UK roads in collisions with vehicles commonplace in construction – that’s 20 people every working day. HGVs only represent around 4% of all traffic on our roads but are involved in around 20% of pedestrian fatalities and a staggering 78% of cyclist fatalities. Every number is a real person with real injuries – traumatising the casualty, their family, the driver, and witnesses. It will cost time, effort and no doubt some financial investment to reduce work related road risks – but how much could it cost if you don’t? During Brake’s #RoadSafetyWeek, we’ll be sharing resources so that we can work together to manage work-related road risk.

???? Road Safety Week: Cell Phone Use While Driving, It Can Wait ???? For Brake, the road safety charity's #RoadSafetyWeek, let’s talk about one of the most common – and most dangerous – distractions on the road: mobile phone use while driving. ?? 1 in 5 road crashes in the UK involve cell phone use. ?? Drivers who text are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash than non-distracted drivers. ?? In fact, sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for an average of 5 seconds—at 55 mph, that's like driving the length of a football field blindfolded. At Lytx, we’re committed to raising awareness about the serious risks of distracted driving. Every time you pick up your phone behind the wheel, you’re putting yourself and others at risk. Here’s how you can make a difference: ?? Put your phone on "Do Not Disturb" mode ?? Pull over if you need to make a call or send a message ?? Stay focused on the road at all times Let’s make this Road Safety Week a reminder to stay focused and prevent the deadly consequences of distracted driving. #NoTextingAndDriving #DistractedDriving #FocusOnTheRoad #Lytx #itcanwait

Herts Ability is proud to support Road Safety Week! ?? Road Safety Week runs from 17th-23rd November 2024 and is the UK's biggest road safety event. Here's how you can help raise awareness during this important week! ?? Every year, thousands of schools, organisations and communities get involved to shout out for our right to make safe and healthy journeys every day. Take part in Road Safety Week 2024 and join the national conversation! Every life on our roads matters and every death and injury is preventable. We all drive too fast sometimes... "I didn’t notice I was going so fast!" "Everyone else is doing it so why can’t I?" "A few miles an hour won’t make much difference will it?" But every time we drive faster than the speed limit, or too fast for the road conditions, we increase the risk of a crash - and we increase the chance that someone we love will be killed or hurt on a road. Whoever you are, however you travel, We need to talk about SPEED. Here's three things to remember ?? Think ?? About how we can all use roads safely to protect ourselves and other road users Understand ?? How safe roads can enable everyone to make safe and healthy journeys Remember ?? Road crash victims and share their stories Brake, the road safety charity #RoadSafetyWeek2024 #SafeRoads #RoadSafety #StaySafe #HertsAbility
