A November Road Safety Message

NOVEMBER REMEMBER

As the evenings grow darker and the roads become more challenging, we remember those we have lost, those who are grieving, and the importance of protecting every life on our roads.

November Remember road safety poster:
               The 10 Do's and Don'ts. Arrive Alive.
November Remember — The 10 Do's and Don'ts
Our Shared Responsibility

Every journey matters.
Every life matters.

November brings darker evenings, rain, fog and slippery roads. It is a time to slow down, remain alert and show consideration for everyone sharing our roads.

Our 10 Do's and Don'ts are simple reminders of the choices we can make to keep ourselves, our passengers and other road users safe.

Please take a moment to read the poster, reflect on its message and share it with someone you care about.

The November Pledge

The 10 Do's & Don'ts

Ten important reminders. One shared goal: to make sure everyone arrives home safely.

?

1. DO slow down

November brings darker evenings, rain, fog and slippery roads. Give yourself time to react and arrive safely.

×

2. DON'T let speed decide your fate

The posted speed limit is a maximum, not a target. On Donegal's winding, rural roads, the safe speed may be considerably lower.

?

3. DO drive sober

If you are driving, alcohol and drugs have no place in your system. Plan your journey before you go out.

×

4. DON'T drive tired

Fatigue can be as dangerous as other forms of impairment. If you are struggling to stay awake, stop somewhere safe and take a proper break.

?

5. DO put the phone away

A message, notification or phone call can wait. Your attention belongs on this road.

×

6. DON'T overtake unless it is safe

Blind bends, hill junctions and narrow rural roads leave little room for error. One impatient decision can change several lives.

?

7. DO look out for vulnerable road users

Give cyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists, horse riders and other road users plenty of space and patience.

×

8. DON'T drive aggressively

Tailgating, dangerous overtaking and road rage put everyone at risk. Getting there safely matters more than getting there first.

?

9. DO check your car before travelling

Tyres, lights, brakes, wipers and windscreen visibility matter even more as winter approaches. Make sure everyone is wearing a seat belt.

×

10. DON'T forget the people with you and those waiting at home

Every journey involves more than the person behind the wheel. You might have passengers; and someone is waiting for you to come home.

A Moment of Remembrance

November Remember

Remember those we have lost.
Remember those who are grieving.
Remember that every journey matters.
Remember to drive safely.
Remember — someone is waiting for you.

Stop before you Start, Pause and Pray

Lord, guide us as we go:
Protect us as we travel;
Bless us on this journey,
and bring us all safely home.
Amen.

Slow down. Stay sober. Put the phone away. Look out for each other.

ARRIVE ALIVE.
