When roads turn wet, your tyre tread has an important job to do.

Tread isn't simply something to check because there's a legal minimum. On wet roads, the grooves in your tyres help to clear water from the contact patch, helping the tyre maintain contact with the road.

That becomes particularly important when rain returns after prolonged dry weather, when water can mix with tyre rubber, oils and dust accumulated on the road and temporarily reduce grip.

Check your tread before you travel. The UK legal minimum is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, around its entire circumference, but don't wait until your tyres reach the limit before giving them attention.

And remember, tread is only one part of the picture. Check your tyres using ACT:

🛞 A – Air pressure
🛞 C – Condition
🛞 T – Tread

When the road surface changes, the condition of the tyres connecting you to it matters.

🚦 Indicators only work when they're accurate

Forgetting to cancel an indicator can be just as confusing as failing to signal at all.

A misleading signal may cause other drivers, cyclists or pedestrians to think you're about to turn or change lane when you're not, increasing the risk of a collision.

If leaving a signal on creates danger or confusion for others, it could contribute to a finding of careless driving.

✅ Check your indicators have cancelled after every manoeuvre
✅ Don't rely solely on another driver's signal
✅ Wait until it's safe before proceeding

Good driving is clear, predictable driving.

****IMAGE IS TO HIGHLIGHT ALL ROAD USERS ONLY ********

Many collisions happen because someone didn't see a hazard in time, so didn't have time to react.

Distractions can affect everyone, whether you're driving, cycling, walking or riding.

Give what your doing your full attention so you can focus on what's happening around you.

👀 Stay alert
📱 Put distractions away
🚶 Expect the unexpected

The safest journeys start with paying attention.
