Everyone knows the laws around driving with alcohol or drugs in your system and the majority of us do the right thing. So why do some still insist on risking it? Since 1st December 152 people have failed a roadside breath or drugs test. Don't risk it! #OpLimit

Most people know it makes sense to stay alcohol free when driving. Following a national survey 91% agreed drink driving was unacceptable and 92% said they would feel ashamed if they were caught drinking and driving. Driving this Christmas? Don’t risk it! #OpLimit

🚍 Our teams will be gritting all priority routes in the county from 4 pm today and again from 2 am in the morning 🦺 We're working hard to ensure the road network is safe and accessible for all this winter. 📣 Please allow extra time to travel and stay safe

Last year, 56 people died and 468 were seriously injured on roads across Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire and we will continue to do all we can, alongside our partners, to protect our communities from harm and keep them safe on the roads.

Reducing collisions and casualties on our roads remains a year-round priority for the force. We are supporting national #RoadSafetyWeek this week to raise awareness of road safety as well as highlighting the devastating toll of road death and injury. @Brakecharity

Today is World Day of Remembrance for road crash victims, as well as the start of national #RoadSafetyWeek. Every death or serious injury on our roads is one too many. Today, as always, our thoughts are with the individuals, families, friends & communities affected by collisions.

Today we remember the hundreds of thousands of lives lost on the world's roads. The numbers are vast, but the tragedies are personal. Our website has details of services and events being held up and down the country to mark today's World Day of Remembrance. #WDoR2024

Don’t forget – the clocks change this weekend. 🚗 Take the time to check your vehicle lights are in good working order. 🚲 If you're out on your bike, don’t forget your lights and if out late walking the dog think about how visible you are. #BeBrightBeSeen

Take a chance on knowing your limit? As part of Op Spotlight we're highlighting the issue of mixing alcohol with driving. Alcohol affects everyone differently. Even just one drink could put you over the limit. If you’re planning on driving, don’t drink. #OpSpotlight
