THE MRAA’s summer holiday message to all road users starts with be nice to one another. Share the road. Stay alert. 

If you look for hazards, you’ve got a chance to avoid them. 

All road users can make mistakes. 

Some of our roads are neglected and dangerous, particularly in country areas. Wildlife on the road is a serious problem too. 

A safe trip makes for a happy holiday.
