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!
