We promote road safety awareness in Scotland

Let's make 2024 safer together.

Latest Campaigns

Drink driving

Remember, it's none for the road.

One drink can put you over the limit, and you can still be over the limit the morning after.

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.

Driver fatigue

Driving Tired Kills

Fatigue causes hundreds of accidents each year and are roughly 50% more likely to result in death or serious injury.

Wear a seatbelt

Not wearing a seatbelt can have big consequences.
These statistics show the difference it makes.

75%
