4. Slow down
At 35mph you are twice as likely to kill a pedestrian as at 30mph.
5. Children
Children often act impulsively, take extra care outside schools, near
buses and ice cream vans when they might be around.
6. Take a break
Tiredness is thought to be a major factor in more than 10% of road
accidents. Plan to stop for at least a 15 minute break every 2 hours on
a long journey.
7. Walk safely
When crossing a road always use a pedestrian crossing if there is one
nearby. Help others to see you by wearing fluorescent or reflective
clothing in poor light conditions.
8. Anticipate
Observe and anticipate other road users and use your mirrors
regularly.
