Be Bright, Be Seen!

As the clocks go back and it gets darker earlier on, it's more important than ever to make sure you're seen when you're out on the road. 

Three top tips for kids:

• Dress brightly
• Wear reflective gear
• Customise your backpack (with bright colours and reflective things)

Whilst the advice is aimed at children it is relevant to all. Reflective dogleads, hi-vis vests and small lights are relatively inexpensive ways of making sure that you're seen by other traffic as the nights draw in.

Drivers may benefit from carrying a hi-vis vest and a torch in case of breakdowns. Other road users might spot a broken down vehicle but they might not spot the person fixing a puncture, etc
