18-24 November is National Road Safety Week.
We’re all human: we daydream, get side-tracked, run late and make mistakes. But on roads, distractions can be fatal. National Road Safety Week 2013 focuses on the theme of tuning in to road safety and avoiding distractions.
When using roads, we all need to tune in to road safety and give it our full attention — particularly if we’re at the wheel, but also when we’re walking, cycling, skating, running, you name it — to keep ourselves and each other safe.

And that means not just instilling the awareness into our children — and I remember endless amounts of this when I was a kid — but also remaining alert ourselves and doing the sensible things like not using our mobile phones when on the move.
As always there is much more about National Road Safety Week over on their website at www.roadsafetyweek.org.uk.
