I've signed the National Autistic Society's open letter because I won’t let baseless claims distract me from the real issues autistic people are facing. Will you join the #TruthItMatters campaign and sign it too? act.autism.org.uk/page/17842…

Checking your eyesight regularly is essential. Eyesight changes are incremental and often go unnoticed, but can lead to missing hazards such as vulnerable road users. Easy test: look around a car park and find the furthest reg you can read, pace the distance <28 call an optician!
#OpsSupport out across @MerseyPolice today as part of the @PoliceChiefs #OpDarkNight. They have been conducting eyesight checks with drivers. 77 drivers tested this morning, 4 immediate licence revocations with 1 driver only able to read a registration plate at 5.75m! #RoadSafety

As the nights draw in, it can become very dark inside #RichmondPark as we have no artificial lighting, and it can be very difficult to see. Add in wild animals that don't look left & right when crossing the road, and it can become very hazardous indeed.

Well done to this Toyota pickup driver who passes the cyclist giving plenty of space. It can be done.
Vulnerable road users really appreciate careful driving like this. Giving space is a safety margin allowing for side winds, potholes, oil spills, debris etc.

“It’s the same things over and over again,” she said. “It’s people falling off ATVs not wearing a helmet. It’s people not switching off machines, getting crushed by moving machinery or cattle, or falling through roofs.”
This is a frightening statistic. 🙁
Fourteen people have been killed in fatal incidents on UK farms since April, including nine linked to moving machinery.

Good news for pedestrians from @CityWestminster: a trial of side-road zebra crossings is underway. People on foot already have priority over vehicles at side roads, but these road markings will remind everyone of what it says in the Highway Code westminsterlabour.org.uk/iss…

999 vehicles on motorways and dual carriageways. The general rule is to go left but not into the hard shoulder. If no hard shoulder then you need to create an emergency corridor. Learn what to do with our #BlueLightAware video

And silly season is now in full swing!
Daytime running lights, side lights & automatic headlights are NOT suitable for wet weather, and or dusk.
You, the driver is in charge of the car.
Just switch headlights to the on positions! It’s not hard!
