As part of our corporate social responsibility commitment, we have launched a series of activities for local children to coincide with Road Safety Week in the UK. (Nov. 15-21, 2021). In the first of a series of three school visits, children were able to get hands-on experience to help them understand the risks and dangers around trucks.

Driver’s eye view for youngsters

Youngsters from Cherry Tree Hill Primary School in Chaddesden in northeast Derby were among the initial three schools who took part in Road Safety Week activities. They were able to climb into a truck cab for a driver’s-eye-view to see what can and can’t be seen (and heard) when driving a large truck.

Road Safety Week is organised by Brake, a leading UK road safety charity. It encourages children to get involved and take action for safer roads. This year’s theme is Road Safety Heroes and celebrates the good work of road safety professionals while explaining how everyone can play a part in making journeys safer. We have also given out a series of awards internally to their own Road Safety Heroes during the week.
