#weevan encourages everyone to go onto DFT's website and check out the changes to the Highway Code.
People cycling may ride in the centre of their lane in certain situations, allowing others to overtake when it’s safe to do so.
Check the changes, let’s keep each other safe. #HighwayCode

What's the rush? With children now back at school it’s more important than ever to watch your speed. #DriveSmart.

However you define it, 'driver error' unfortunately features prominently among the causation factors for many serious and fatal north east road traffic collisions. Two little words that can have devastating consequences. Please use our roads safely.

Make sure your tyres aren’t going down, by checking their pressure each month and before long journeys. You will need to remember to adjust your pressure if you are setting off with additional passengers and load (for example on a family holiday).
