Get ready for Road Safety Week

Posted by Greg Throughton


Owners of Cramer Caravan Cookers & Hobs have been encouraged to start planning now for Road Safety Week 2011.


Road safety charity Brake organises the week every year with the support of the Police Federation and the Association of Chief Police Officers, to raise awareness about deaths among teens and young people.


This year's theme is called Too Young to Die and is aimed specifically at young people to help them understand the dangers of being a teen motorist or being a passenger in the car of a young driver.


"Road Safety Week offers a fantastic opportunity for us to work with the public and remind them of key road safety issues through a variety of activities and events. I would encourage all police forces and partners to get involved in 2011," said Neil Fillingham, force traffic management coordinator at Humberside Police.


Directgov said that basic road safety, such as correct tyre pressure and working lights, are also crucial when towing a caravan.
