We promote road safety awareness in Scotland

Let's make 2023 safer together.

Latest Campaigns

Pavement Parking

Pavement parking is unsafe, unfair and illegal.

It’s illegal to park on pavements, at drop kerbs and to double park in Scotland. To avoid a fine of up to £100, ensure you park in a way that keeps everyone safe.

Speed

A little bit of speeding could land you in a lot of trouble

You’re running a little bit late. You’re only a little bit over the speed limit. The roads are quiet. You’re just doing what everyone else does. You’re a careful driver, you’re in control. These are the things we all tell ourselves when we drive too fast on Scotland’s roads.

Seatbelts

It's not just you who gets hurt. Wear a seatbelt

Not wearing a seatbelt can have big consequences. Your friends’ and family’s lives could all be affected. So, don’t ever skip it – even for short journeys.
