“Collectively, as road users, we are making thousands of decisions everyday that save lives. Both our own, and the lives of those around us.
“We are all responsible for our own behaviour: drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, pedestrians and cyclists.
“One wrong choice can change lives forever. I ask all road users to remember you are responsible, not only for your own safety but for the safety of others. Respect Everyone’s Journey.”
