Chief Observer Dick Bird sets the standard for Masters



Last week our Chief Observer Dick Bird took his Masters three year renewal with our ASDM Shaun Cronin. Dick always demonstrates an extremely high standard of driving, and this was confirmed by his well-deserved award of a Distinction.



As a Group we should be very proud of having a Chief Observer who is not only very dedicated to the job of arranging all the Associates and Observers, but also has such a high standard of driving.



From all of us, well done Dick and keep up the good work!

Have you seen Association of Optometrists' road safety campaign? We encourage everyone to go and voluntarily get their eyes checked regularly

01/10/2017

Today marks the first day of Tyre Safety Month 2017 which is a campaign run every October by TyreSafe.
"TyreSafe is a UK’s charity dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of correct tyre maintenance and the dangers of defective and illegal tyres.
While the need to carry out regular tyre checks may seem obvious, an alarming number of Britain’s motorists are replacing their tyres only when they have already become illegal and dangerous."
For more information: https://www.tyresafe.org/
Remember to check your tyres and also keep an eye out on IAM RoadSmart social media pages for a little competition on Thursday :)
