You have the right to be impolite when it comes to fraud. If someone asks for your money or personal information, take your time to check it's real.

It's okay to hang up, shut the door, close the email or simply say “No". Any genuine person or organisation won't mind.

As the driver you are responsible for everyone in your vehicle. Every extra mph reduces your reaction time and increases your risk of a collision. The consequences can last a lifetime 😔

The Balfron community team were in Buchlyvie yesterday morning carrying out speed checks outside the primary school.

We were disappointed to see that not all parents were adhering to the 20mph limit when approaching the school, or making sure their children were wearing seatbelts .

We then attended at the school and spoke with the children about road safety and the importance of wearing a seatbelt properly on every journey, no matter how short.

The children had the chance to see the speed gun and try out some of our kit, as well as asking lots of questions - including whether we like doughnuts (yes! 🍩 ).

Every journey matters, and so does every child's safety. 🚸

Difficult to find something right with this one.

Stopped by in Falkirk for no insurance, we then found a tyre down to the wire and a faulty handbrake.

Unsurprisingly, the vehicle was seized on the spot and a prohibition issued.
