Make sure you stand out during darker nights
The local authority has visited schools throughout the county, talking to pupils about the importance of wearing bright and reflective clothing in winter, helping to improve their visibility to drivers.
While visiting schools, the council provided students with a reflective clip-on for their own use to help with their personal safety on their daily school journey. It is recommended for young people, whose school uniforms are usually dark, to ensure they wear bright and reflective outerwear or possibly add reflectors to items such as bags.
