Road Safety Week
Let’s Talk About Speed
It’s road safety week 2023 – the UK’s biggest annual road safety campaign organised by Brake the road safety charity. The theme for this year is Let’s Talk About Speed.
Five people die on roads every day – so why do we think it’s OK to speed?
Throughout the week, we’ll be covering Road Safety Week on MIX56 – with advice on winter service checks and insurance – along with a Live Broadcast with special guests at McDonalds Lymm Services on Tuesday 21st November.
Monday 20th: Advice from the Legal Experts
According to research, 48% of drivers wouldn’t know the steps to take if involved in an accident.
Harvey chatted to Road Safety Legal Expert, Ray Williams from Slater & Gordon to find out more. You can listen again right here.
Don’t forget to keep an eye on this page throughout the week as we’ll be updating it often!
