Pledge to drive safely


The Pledge to Drive Safely is a campaign being run by Brake - the road safety charity - that aims to stop deaths and injuries on roads by improving the safety of drivers. If you drive, you can join the campaign now - just visit the Driver Safety section on www.brake.org.uk and Pledge to Drive Safely!

Nine people are killed on UK roads every day. If you pledge to do these things every time you drive, then the chances of killing or hurting someone else, or yourself, are radically reduced.

Avis and Brake - helping you drive safely.
