BRAKE - Road Safety Week 2008
The theme this year is:
FAMILY SAFETY :
Stop --- Imagine --- Change.
Brake, the road safety charity, will be raising awareness in the following 3 key areas during Road Safety Week:-
1. The vital need for parents to ‘protect the ones they love’.
Brake will release a research report about child car seats, cycling and walking safely and speed when driving your family.
This will be available in the newsroom of their website during road safety week at www.roadsafetyweek.org
2. The terrible devastation caused by death and injury on roads.
Families affected in this way and representing Brake will tell the media about how their lives have been wrecked by death and serious injury.
3. The need for drivers and parents to Stop. Imagine. Change.
Brake asks people to stop and imagine how horrendous it would be to lose a loved one in a road crash, or cause a fatal crash, take a long hard look at their behaviour on roads and change their behaviour for the better.
We can all make a commitment to improve our behaviour, whether that means taking more time to look twice at junctions, committing to not ever overtaking unless it is totally safe, or simply always holding our children’s hands when close to roads.
Now that the clocks have changed and dark evenings are upon us much earlier, Brake suggests a “Brake Bright Day” at school, work or college. They want to encourage your children, employees and students to dress in bright coloured clothing to raise awareness of pedestrian vulnerability during the winter months.
If you’d like further information about Brake, including how to arrange free presentations at work, school or college or simply driving tips for safe winter driving, please contact your local Brake representative and Driving Instructor, Parv Walling at parv@parv.co.uk Tel: 01923 244486.
