Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service is gearing up for National Road Safety week which runs from the 21st to the 27th of November.
Road Safety Week is coordinated annually by road safety charity Brake and involves thousands of people around the UK taking action for safer roads.
As part of the campaign, Delta Watch will be at the petrol station at Tesco's in Handforth Dean on Saturday, 26th November, to carry out the Brake initiative.
Colin Heyes, the Service's Road Safety Manager, said: "This year, we are encouraging drivers to take the Brake Pledge. The pledge calls for drivers to promise to do everything they can to protect themselves and the people around them. The elements of the pledge are the known major contributory factors to the deaths and injuries which occur on the roads of the UK.
"These are inappropriate speed, use of mobile phones, not using seatbelts, driving when tired, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and using poorly maintained vehicles. We'll also be asking people to only use the car if necessary – public transport, walking and cycling are better for the environment and health."
He added "Every day, 5 people die on UK roads and over 60 are seriously injured. Brake are asking everyone to help put a stop to this by spreading the word about life-saving importance of The Brake Pledge during Road Safety Week.
"We're pledging our support by hosting a number of driving safety initiatives across the flagship week."
