1. Don't use your mobile phone whilst driving
Making or receiving a call, even using a hands-free phone can distract your attention from driving and could lead to an accident.

2. Belt up in the back
In a collision, an unbelted rear seat passenger can kill or seriously injure the driver or front seat passenger.

3. Don't drink and drive
Any alcohol, even a small amount, can impair your driving. Be a safer driver: don't drink and drive.

4. Slow down
At 35mph you are twice as likely to kill someone you hit as at 30mph

5. Children
Children often act impulsively. Take extra care outside school, near buses and ice cream vans when they might be around.

6. Take a break
Tiredness is thought to be a major factor in more than 10% of road accidents. Plan to stop for at least a 15 minute break every 2 hours on a long journey.

7. Walk safely
When crossing a road, always use a pedestrian crossing if there is one nearby. Help others to see you by wearing fluorescent or reflective clothing in poor light conditions.

8. Anticipate
Observe and anticipate other road users, use your mirrors regularly and don't forget to glance into your blind area before altering your course.

9. Use child seats
Child and baby seats should be fitted properly and checked before use

10. Keep your distance
Always keep a two second gap between you and the vehicle in front
