Road Safety Made Simple
Some days being on the road can really push your buttons. It gets hectic – which is why it’s always a great idea to brush up and stay sharp, so you can be the shiniest version of yourself when driving. Have look at these three tips, for instance. They’ll help you, but they’re also ideal to share with that friend who makes you push the invisible break when you’re in the passenger seat or a family member who just doesn’t quite get what really needs to happen at traffic circles… But in all seriousness, these videos are brilliant, part of Imperial Road Safety’s #BongieSays campaign and simple enough to use as tools when teaching kids about the ins and outs of road safety.

How well do you know your traffic circle rules? On some level, most people feel like ‘everybody else doesn’t know how to drive’ because, to be fair, traffic circles can be quite an overwhelming experience. The trick when entering a traffic circle is to always give way to those already in the circle, and those approaching from your right. It’s literally that simple.
