Take extra care driving on wet roads - your tyres will have less grip on the road Watch out for fallen trees across the road network Slow down, expect the unexpected Allow extra time, anticipate debris as you travel. #ExpectTheUnexpected @deptinfra @daera_ni

Excessive speed for the road or the conditions remains a major cause of road deaths and serious injuries in Northern Ireland, especially on rural roads with higher speed limits. You’ll always lose control to speed. #RoadWiseUp @deptinfra @daera_ni

In wet weather, stopping distances will be at least doubled. You should: • keep well back from the vehicle in front • ease off the accelerator and slow down gradually if the steering becomes unresponsive. #ExpectTheUnexpected @deptinfra @daera_ni

Country roads demand extra care. Be prepared for slow-moving farm vehicles, cyclists, horse riders, pedestrians and mud on the road. Slow down, especially at bends, junctions and when entering villages. @deptinfra @daera_ni

Finish the sentence: "I knew it was a close call when..." Whatever comes to mind, you're not alone. More than a third of UK drivers have experienced a near miss in the past year. Don't wait for another one to remind you to check your tyres. #TyreSafetyMonth #ACTBeforeYouREact

People who walk or ride are more vulnerable when using the road. Drivers – remember to give cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders at least as much room as you would when overtaking a car. @deptinfra @daera_ni

The road should always come first. A moment of distraction can have life-changing consequences. Selfish choices cost lives. #GetYourPrioritiesStraight#RoadWiseUp Selfish Choices Cost Lives #RoadwiseUp @deptinfra @daera_ni

People continue to be killed on our roads because people continue to take risks like these. So, before you go near a road, or get into a vehicle #RoadwiseUp @deptinfra @daera_ni

Whether you are a driver, motorcyclist, or choose to walk or cycle – all road users are being reminded of their personal responsibility to drive, ride, cycle and walk in a way that keeps both themselves and others safe as they share the road. @deptinfra @daera_ni

🚗 Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) has now launched. But what exactly does it involve? 🤔 GDL introduces a number of changes that will affect learners and newly qualified drivers, helping support them as they build experience on the road. Watch to see the key measures. 👇 Find out more🔗 nidirect.gov.uk/campaigns/gr… @NIRoadPolicing @PoliceServiceNI @LizKimminsSF @NIFRSOFFICIAL @nidirect @NIAS999 @roadtozero @NI_LGA

As the leaves start to fall, the wetter weather sets in and the roads become more treacherous, October is #TyreSafetyMonth and it's a good time to get into the habit of checking your tyres regularly. #RoadwiseUp @deptinfra @daera_ni

Tyres are the only part of your motorcycle, scooter or moped in contact with the road surface so it is essential that they are properly maintained and in a legal and roadworthy state. #TyreSafetyMonth #RoadSafety #CarMaintenance #DriveSafe #TyreCheck @deptinfra @daera_ni
