A ROAD safety event in Warwickshire will bring together experts as part of an initiative to reduce traffic collisions later this month.
The Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership will host the driver safety event to help raise awareness of project EDWARD (Every Day Without A Road Death).
Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service will offer free vehicle maintenance safety checks, while Warwickshire Police will talk about community speed watch, and Warwickshire County Council will offer information and resources to support safe and active travel.
Representatives from Warwickshire’s local Regional Driving Assessment Centre (RDAC) and IAM RoadSmart will be available to talk about licence renewal at 70, eyesight requirements and more, while The British Horse Society and More Than A Cyclist will be raising awareness of recent Highway Code changes.
Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Seccombe, chair of Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership, said: “I’d encourage everyone to come along and take the opportunity to talk to road safety experts on the best ways to stay safe. Together we can reduce the number of collisions that take place on our roads.”
The event takes place at Dobbies Garden Centre on the outskirts of Rugby at 10am-3pm on Tuesday September 20.
