🚗🔧 Catch up on our recent Young Driver Webinar as part of @Tyresafe Month! Sophie from @FreshDriversUK shared crucial insights on the importance of tyre maintenance and even showcased some illegal tyres to highlight what to avoid. warksroadsafety.org/together…

It really doesn’t need to be like this☹️ Maintenance of your vehicle should be as important as the job you’re on your way to complete!🔧 Driver will be prosecuted for the tyre offences, when a #WalkAroundCheck would have discovered defects 👀 Advice⬇️ gov.uk/guidance/carry-out-va…

On rainy days we pretend to be @NW_Fire_Control 😂😅.. Can’t you tell daddy is a @LancashireFRS firefighter 😍 Inspiring the next generation of female firefighters in this household 🚒

I am the wife of a retained firefighter and this is just normal life for us 🤣.. It can be very hard at times as a family having to stick to the same area and not go far if he’s on call but it’s all worth it to see him keep people safe 🚒🫶🏻 To all the whole time, on call and retired firefighters out there. THANK YOU, your bravery is remarkable. You should all be so proud. 😊 **All road signs were bought at auction**

More great advice from Sophie @WestgateTyres

A few tips for me to stay safe on your bike this year! Especially as @ttracesofficial season is upon us. We always have an Influx of bikers at this time of the year being so close to the port of Heysham! @BikerDownLancs #thinkbike

So rightly said by @ian_m_greenwood .. I was incredibly honoured to represent @RoadPeace on this day to create this very impactful picture with @CheshireFire, @cheshirepolice, @NWAmbulance and @HighwaysNWEST …

Don’t get kicked down by having defective or bald tyres. Just taking some time to check them before you go on your usual journeys may just save you from a breakdown 🔧 , some points and a fine👮 or even worse from being involved in a crash 😞. It only takes roughly 2-5 minutes to check all four of your tyres tread, condition and pressure. Or better yet visit your local TyreSafe supporter who wil do you a FREE tyre safety check!

Proud to be a part of this with @WarksRoadSafety. For a road safety partnership to take “Garage Anxiety” seriously means so much and is a great turning point for the automotive industry. Not only does it encourage other garages to promote road safety within their customers it also creates more safe spaces for drivers. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

#FatalFour - Week 2: This week, we turn to the subject of driving under the influence of drink or drugs. There is no safe limit for the amount of alcohol you can have before driving. There is also no way of knowing how long it will take for alcohol to be processed by your body.

Vehicle stopped for, from behind having a reg plate not conforming. Led to a number of offences and defects being found. Front bumper hanging off, scraping on the road, tyre without tread. Driver was in Preston heading to Birmingham. Vehicle prohibited, driver reported #T3RPU
