🚦 **A Call for Care and Compassion** 🚦 In the midst of our busy lives, let's pause to appreciate the invaluable contributions of our food delivery bike drivers. Each day, they navigate the urban jungle, delivering fresh meals and sustaining our daily routines. They are not just riders; they are individuals making a living, supporting their families, and building dreams. 🍽️🚴♀️ To all drivers, let's commit to share the road with empathy and awareness. These dedicated professionals face numerous challenges, from harsh weather to traffic perils, all in the name of service and community. Your awareness can make a life-saving difference. Slow down, check your mirrors, and always give them the space they deserve. Remember, every dish delivered is a testament to their hard work and resilience. Together, let's create safer roads and a more compassionate world. Your small acts of kindness can have a profound impact on their journey and livelihood. Drive with care, respect, and gratitude. After all, they are nourishing our lives one delivery at a time. #DriveWithCare

Look closely... 🛵This is more than just a scooter rider—this is a heroine. 🏁She represents a workforce that many depend on but few truly see. Every mile she rides, every delivery made, isn't just a task completed—it's the beating heart of our economy at work. 🚦These women and men are the backbone, the invisible force keeping businesses running and communities connected. 🔥But how often do we think about the paths they pave for us, both literally and figuratively? 🚦Taking care of them means securing the very foundation of our economy. It’s more than just a job they do—it's a lifeline they create. 🛵And we at SROISA believe it’s time they’re taken care of, in the same way they’ve taken care of us. ⛔Their path must be protected, their safety prioritized. 🏁Let’s lift the veil and recognize the heroes and heroines who keep everything moving forward. 👍🏾Advocating for the safety and recognition of the true heroes behind our economy. #SROISA #Safety #GigEconomy #DeliveryRiders #Empowerment

🗨️ Driver wellbeing is critical to road safety, and new research from Geotab reveals a worrying trend: 90% of UK van and lorry drivers say work-related stress negatively impacts their driving, contributing to an increased risk of collisions. It's crucial that we acknowledge the impact of stress on this essential workforce and take steps to address it. Join our webinar with Lucy Straker of Brake, the road safety charity, Peter Milchard of the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP), Kirsty Birch from Work It Well ™️, Edward Kulperger, ICD.D, SVP of Geotab, and Paul Atkinson, an experienced ex-police officer and driver, to discuss these findings and learn how organisations can better support their drivers and improve fleet safety.

Road Safety Week 17th-23rd November 2024 As we start the "Road Safety Week" delivered by Brake (the road safety charity), we should consider the stopping distance of our vehicles; this will depend on your attention, the road surface, the weather conditions, and your vehicle. We acknowledge there are several factors that affect stopping distance: Your Attention: Being alert and focused can significantly reduce reaction time. Road Surface: Wet, icy, or uneven surfaces can increase stopping distance. Weather Conditions: Rain, snow, and fog can affect visibility and road grip. Your Vehicle: The condition of your brakes, tyres, and overall vehicle maintenance play a crucial role. It’s always good to keep these factors in mind to ensure safe driving. Do you have any specific questions about driving safety or vehicle maintenance? www.safe2drive.co.uk #RoadSafetyWeek
