Bank Holiday! | Have a safe TRIP

Whether you’re leaving the south west or coming to visit, have a safe and enjoyable summer holiday road trip.

Follow the T.R.I.P. checks every driver needs to perform to keep themselves, their passengers and other road users safe.

TOP UP your fuel or battery, oil and screen wash
REST with planned stops of at least 15 minutes every two hours
INSPECT tyre pressure, tread depth and for cracks or tears before setting out
PREPARE for all weather conditions…it may be very hot, or we may have rain and thunderstorms

We’ll add that SPEED limits are there for your safety, they are not a target. Drive within the limit and to prevailing road, weather and traffic conditions. So, TRIPS: as easy to remember as TRIP.

🚗 Have a great bank holiday! 😎

Help to break the cycle of exploitation.

County lines continues to affect communities across the UK, but much of the activity remains hidden.

Crime goes unreported because:
• People are unsure what they have seen
• They fear being wrong
• They worry about getting involved

Breaking the cycle starts with recognising the signs and sharing information safely and anonymously.

Learn more about county lines and speak up 100% anonymously through Crimestoppers 👉 https://orlo.uk/GFMux

You can also call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. If someone is in immediate danger call 999.
