Christmas is a time for family, food & drink and of course presents! Most of us will be travelling at some point over the festive period, on roads that will inevitably be busier than usual.

In support of Road Safety Week, Brake’s biggest annual road safety campaign, IAM RoadSmart is helping everyone to know how they can be a safer pedestrian.

Yet again, the cost-of-living crisis is tightening its grip on UK motorists. The 2022 RAC Report has found that more than a third of drivers aged 17 to 24 are avoiding necessary vehicle repairs to save money during the financial crisis.

IAM RoadSmart surveyed 1,004 motorists on which roads they are most worried about driving on. 60% of respondents expressed concern about getting behind the wheel, in some form.

On Sunday 30th October the clocks are going back - good news for those of us who will enjoy an extra hour in bed! However, it also means we’re going to be travelling to and from work in the dark a lot more.
