The weather was certainly very ‘up and down’ in June. We had rain, wind, and a fair number of sunny days. Forecasters are predicting hotter conditions to return this month. If it does, make sure you’re ready for it because driving in warmer weather brings its own risks, like dehydration, increased roadworks, vehicle malfunctions, and more vehicles on the road as people head off on holiday. Before setting off, whether car, van or HGV, don’t forget to:

👁️ Check your vehicle (tyres, brake pads & fluid)
🥤 Stay hydrated
💨 Keep vehicle well ventilated to avoid drowsiness
☀️ Prepare for glare
🚧 Take extra care around roadworks
💆 Make the most of your breaks

Did you know that breaking down on the hard shoulder results in 250 people being killed or seriously injured every year? Top three tips to stay safe:

✅Avoid breaking down – by regularly servicing and checking your vehicle (including wipers, tyres, and fluid levels). Report faults immediately and understand your vehicle's warning lights.
Be prepared - carry a charged mobile phone, an emergency kit with warm and high visibility clothing, a torch, water, and a reflective triangle.

🦺Follow general breakdown procedures: If possible, avoid stopping in dangerous places, switch on your hazard lights, and try to pull off the road completely. If you must stop, display your emergency triangle at least 45 metres behind your vehicle (not on a motorway) and NEVER attempt a repair yourself.
