Tailgating and how to avoid it

To drive safety on our roads, it’s important to keep a safe and respectful distance between your vehicle and others.

Driving around large vehicles and HGVs

HGVs are often considerably longer, heavier and more powerful than standard vehicles and care needs to be taken when driving close to one.

Vehicle checks

Most breakdowns are avoidable, and simple vehicle checks can help you have a safer journey.

eCall

Short for emergency call system – eCall is a safety feature in most newer vehicles which connects to emergency services when activated.

Dashboard warning lights

Your vehicle’s dashboard warning lights are designed to provide you with information and to warn when there may be an issue with your vehicle.

Know the HGV zones

Little changes, change everything
