Road Safety

Safety on the roads in paramount as a car is essentially a large and very heavy piece of metal travelling at high speeds. Naturally, this can be very dangerous, so it's important to take care on the roads, particularly during adverse weather conditions. Also, it's vitally important to be aware of other road users, as they can be the greatest danger to you on the roads. Even if you drive as safely as possible there's nothing you can do to stop somebody else driving like an idiot and potentially causing a fatal accident.

If you ride a motorcycle then the dangers on the road can be even more severe, there is a highly disproportionate number of fatal accidents on the roads involving motorcycles, so you need to take extra car. Motorcycles can be extremely powerful and they're capable of travelling at very high speeds, but it's important you observe the speed limits, both for your safety and in order to avoid speeding fines. Some motorcycles, particularly those ridden by young people who have just passed their test are restricted to 33bhp. These vehicles will require a 33bhp certificate to prove they are the appropriate category of vehicle for the rider. Also, it is possibly to buy restrictor kits to limit the bhp of a more powerful bike, again these will require a properly authenticated 33bhp certificate!

Remember that you must always drive as safely as possibly with consideration for other road users when driving on a public highway!
