🛴 Remember when e-scooters felt like "the future"?

A few years later and we're still having the same conversation.

What's legal?
Where can they be ridden?
Who should be using them?
And who's responsible when something goes wrong?

Meanwhile, reports of serious injuries linked to e-scooter collisions continue to grow.

The technology arrived quickly.

The rules haven't really caught up. And that gap creates uncertainty for riders, drivers and pedestrians alike.

What's one thing you'd change about how e-scooters are regulated in the UK?

Ten people, all of whom were e-scooter riders, were killed in collisions compared with six in 2024

🕳️ Be honest...have you changed the way you drive because of potholes?

Slowing down unexpectedly?
Moving position in your lane?
Avoiding certain roads altogether?

Across the UK, frustration with potholes has become so common that some communities are now taking matters into their own hands.

But beyond the annoyance, potholes create genuine safety concerns for drivers, cyclists and motorcyclists alike.

So we're curious...what's the worst pothole you've come across recently?

The dire state of roads has provoked pothole vigilantes and become a political flashpoint from Manchester to Manhattan. How did we get here?

We talk about road safety statistics a lot.

Fatalities.
Serious injuries.
Casualty numbers.

But it's easy to forget that every number represents a real person ❤️

A family.
A friend.
A life changed in an instant.

That's why road safety matters so much.

Not because of targets, reports or annual statistics, but because every safer journey means someone gets home safely. And every incident affects far more people than those directly involved.

When discussions around road safety happen, do you think we focus enough on the human impact behind the numbers?

🚗 Most people would never dream of drink driving.

But what about drug driving?

New THINK! campaign figures show that around half of drivers killed in road collisions who were tested had drugs in their system.

And unlike drink driving, many people still aren't sure where the line is.

Prescription medication.
Cannabis.
Recreational drugs.

If it affects your ability to drive safely, it could put you and others at risk.

Do you think drug driving gets enough attention compared to drink driving?

If you could change ONE thing to improve road safety in the UK, what would it be?

More enforcement?
Better driver education?
Stronger penalties?
Safer road design?

⚽ Tonight's the night... England are playing their first World Cup match!

Which means millions of people will be heading to pubs, bars, friends' houses and fan zones to watch the game.

And while most people wouldn't dream of drink driving...

Big occasions have a habit of changing plans.
One more drink.
Extra time.
A last-minute winner.
A few post-match celebrations.

Before you know it, the journey home looks very different from the one you planned.

The safest limit when driving is always zero.

Whatever the result tonight, make sure everyone gets home safely.

THINK! 0% is our partner-led platform, working with alcohol brands and the hospitality sector, to prompt drivers to THINK! 0% when in drinking environments and help them to set new, safer habits without missing out on good times. Big sporting moments like the World Cup bring people together: bigger....

🏍️ Here's a stat that often surprises people...

Motorcycles account for around 1% of road traffic in the UK, yet motorcyclists make up around 20% of road fatalities.

That's a huge difference.

And it highlights one of the biggest challenges in road safety. Motorcyclists are smaller, less visible, and often harder to judge than other vehicles.

Most drivers have probably had that moment where they've checked, checked again... and still been surprised by a bike appearing closer than expected.

Likewise, many riders will have experienced the feeling of not being seen at all. Sharing the road safely takes awareness from everyone, drivers and riders alike.

What's the best piece of advice you've ever heard for improving motorcycle safety?

📉 Road deaths fell last year. That's the good news. The less encouraging news?

Thousands of people are still being killed or seriously injured on UK roads every year.

Which raises an interesting question...at what point do we stop measuring road safety purely by fatalities?

Because for every life lost, there are many more people whose lives are permanently changed by serious injuries.

Road safety isn't just about preventing deaths, it's about preventing harm.

Do you think serious injuries get enough attention in road safety conversations?

https://roadsafetygb.org.uk/news/drop-in-road-fatalities-in-2025-welcome-but-wider-casualty-figures-remain-deeply-concerning/

Drop in road fatalities in 2025 welcome but wider casualty figures “remain deeply concerning” 13.04 | 28 May 2026 | Statistics New Government figures estimate there were 1,556 road fatalities in 2025, representing a year-on-year fall of 3%.

🚨 More than 4,000 drivers with 12 or more speeding points are still legally driving on UK roads.

Yep...let that sink in for a second.

And a further 117 drivers have more than 20 speeding points on their licence, while two motorists have reportedly accumulated 43 and 45 points and remain behind the wheel.

Which is why there's now a push for repeat speeding offenders to have technology fitted to their vehicles that physically prevents them from exceeding the speed limit.

And that's where it gets interesting...

Should repeat offenders lose their licence? Or should they keep driving, but with technology that stops them speeding again?

👇 Where do you stand?

🚗 Modern cars are packed with safety features. Right?

Automatic braking.
Lane assist.
Collision warnings.
Airbags everywhere.

So here's the question...
Why doesn't it feel like our roads are getting safer?

While vehicle safety has improved dramatically over the last decade, pedestrian fatalities have increased by around 10% and cyclist fatalities by around 25%.

Have we become better at protecting people inside vehicles than the people outside them?

While the number of fatalities among car occupants is down, new Government stats reveal a rise in vulnerable road user casualties
