Urban Driving 

Driving and riding in urban areas can always be a challenge.

Especially with the new Highway Code changes, we need to be alert to new dangers: people in the roadway when we don’t expect them being just one example – particularly when traffic was unusually heavy or fast-moving near junctions.

Some drivers may be ignoring the new priorities and some may be just in a tearing hurry.

As IAM RoadSmart members, let’s think carefully about our driving and use our skills and training to . . .

SET AN EXAMPLE!
