We promote road safety awareness in Scotland
Let's make 2023 safer together.
Latest Campaigns
Drug Driving
It’s easy to catch drug drivers.
Police in Scotland now carry drug testing kits and are able to carry out immediate roadside testing for any driver they suspect of drug driving. Know the rules, keep our roads safe.
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.
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.
