South Yorkshire police aim to make roads crash free

Emergency services are calling on South Yorkshire’s drivers to make the county’s roads collision free this Friday, to mark a major national awareness day. Fire, police and other partners will be spelling out driving dangers at dozens of events across the county.

Every day approximately 10 people are hurt on the roads of South Yorkshire. By educating motorists about common causes of collisions such as speeding, drink driving and stopping distances, members of the South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership aim to bring that figure to zero, if only for one day.

A range of road safety events and demonstrations are taking place across the county. They include a major event in Peel Square, Barnsley where firefighters and paramedics will show crowds how they rescue the victims of serious road smashes.

  • Keep your distance - leave at least a two second gap between you and the car in front.
  • Don't drink and drive - just one drink can affect your response times as a driver.
  • Think speed - the risk of killing a pedestrian is four times higher at 30mph, than 40mph.
