Winter Road Safety
We are now in the middle of winter, which inevitably involves the day starting and ending in darkness...with some daylight in between! If you are walking or cycling early in the morning or at night, it is extremely important to make sure that you can be seen by drivers. Some top tips to make sure you are as visible as possible include...
Wear bright or reflective clothing - anything colourful or fluorescent will help drivers to spot you!
Consider buying some reflective materials such as a hi-viz vest, or reflective stickers which can be attached to clothing or a rucksack.
Make sure you have lights on your bike and check they are clean before you set off!
