We've supported a Safety Awareness Day in Ironbridge today, alongside British Horse Society and Shropshire Fire & Rescue Service. A really good day raising awareness of the BHS Dead Slow campaign and recent changes to the Highway Code.

Unfortunately for this motorist, his hi-vis jacket only helped to highlight his lack of seatbelt when he was caught on camera by one of our enforcement officers. He has since completed the 'Your Belt Your Life' course which is offered as an alternative to paying the fine.

Most people know it makes sense to stay alcohol free when driving.

Following a national survey 91% agreed drink driving was unacceptable.

Don’t be the minority letting the side down

Even just one drink could put you over the limit.

If you’re planning on driving, don’t drink.
