Road Safety
Plan your journey
There are a number of things that you should consider, check and prepare before heading out on a journey, of any length.
Below, is just a few examples of what you should be thinking about:
Before going on any long journey make sure your vehicle is in good condition.
Plan your route in advance, using main roads as far as possible and have enough money and petrol. It is also worth carrying a spare petrol can.
Carry some change to make a public telephone call if you need to and if possible carry a mobile phone with sufficient credit on it to ring for help.
Keep your doors locked when driving in town and keep valuables away from open windows.
After dark, always park in a well-lit, preferably busy area.
When you come back to your car have your key ready and check there is no one in the car.
Detailed description:
What to do if you are involved in a collision
If you are the driver you MUST:
Stop and remain at the scene for a reasonable time, Give your name and address, vehicle registration number, and details of the owner (if different) to anyone with reasonable grounds for asking for these details.
If you do not exchange those at the scene you must report the accident at a police station as soon as possible and within 24 hours in any case.
When another person involved is injured you must:
Produce your certificate of insurance to anyone at the scene having reasonable grounds to see it.
If you don’t have your certificate with you then you may take it to the police station when you report the incident (within 24 hours). This must be produced within seven days.
This applies, not only if your vehicle was directly involved in the collision, but also if your vehicle’s presence was a factor.
If you have any doubts we advise you to report the collision regardless of who was at fault.
Failure to do so can mean you are committing two offences; - failure to stop and failure to report.
The penalties for each offence include a fine and penalty points on your licence. The court can also disqualify you from driving for either or both offences.
