A WARRINGTON MP has taken the pledge to drive safely as part of national safety week.
Helen Jones, MP for Warrington North, made the pledge this week in the run up to Brake's Road Safety Week, which started on Saturday and runs until Friday (April 6).
Brake is a not-for-profit organisation. Helen's pledge involves making 12 promises, for the rest of her driving career, which range from belting up, waking up, sobering up and checking up, among others.
Helen said: "It is always an appropriate time to remind people about road safety. However, in the wake of recent publicised cases where road safety was ignored with horrific consequences this year's Road Safety Week comes at a poignant time.
"Road Safety Week is a high profile way of encouraging everyone to take responsibility for reducing deaths and injuries on the road by taking the utmost care when out and about."
