We are so lucky to have some beautiful rural roads in North Yorkshire.
Rural roads can present more hazards that main routes or the strategic road network don't. There are many hidden dips and bends and you never know what could be coming the other way.
It could be a horse or a combine harvester.
Speed limits are not targets and you should always drive at a speed appropriate to the conditions and roads you are using.

We all have a responsibility to ensure our eyesight is in good order. Don't ignore it if you experience blurred vision or if you feel dizzy. Have regular eye tests to ensure your sight remains roadworthy.

England & Wales have the highest drink-drive limit in Europe (80mg alcohol per 100ml of blood)

- You are six times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash if you have 50-80mg alcohol per 100ml

- You are three times more likely to die on the roads if you have 20-50mg alcohol per 100ml

- You are forty six percent more likely to be at fault in road collisions if you have 10mg alcohol per 100ml.

The facts don't lie, it's not worth it. Never drink and drive ❌

Why behaviour change matters for road safety

Changing behaviour on our roads saves lives. It cuts collisions, prevents serious injuries and stops families being torn apart.

Road collisions are not inevitable. They are preventable — and
accepting them as “just part of life” is not good enough.

A driving licence is a privilege, not a right. It brings freedom — but it also brings responsibility.

In the wrong hands, a vehicle can become a weapon. One poor choice can destroy a life.

People’s choices are shaped by who they are, who they are with and the places they travel through.

That is why behaviour change matters.

By challenging risky habits and encouraging safer choices, we can make every journey safer.

Make the change. Smart Choices Save Lives.

Are you familiar with the new rules for car driving test bookings? 🤔

📅 Test changes are now limited to 2 per booking.

🔄️ Only learners can book, change or cancel their own test.

📍 Test moves are limited to one of the 3 nearest centres.

By introducing these new rules, we’re aiming to reduce the reselling of tests, create a level playing field for all learner drivers and give them more control over their learning to drive journey. 💪

Booking your driving test? Make sure you’re doing it the right way. ✅

Since 12 May, it has been against the law for anyone but the learner driver to book a driving test. Using unofficial apps, bots or automated tools also breaks the terms and conditions of our booking service.

We've already cancelled 450 tests where tests have been booked outside the new rules – and we're continuing to monitor activity closely. 💪

If misuse of the booking system is identified, we can cancel your booking and suspend your ability to manage your test online.

Our priority is to make the system fair for every learner and to stop you being exploited by third parties. The only way to book and manage a test is through GOV.UK. 💻
