JUDGING YOUR DRIVING ABLITY BEFORE YOU SET OFF

It is so important to judge your health and tiredness before setting off on a journey.

Unfortunately for an elderly driver in Bournemouth, falling ill at the wheel had fatal consequences. The man is thought to have become ill whilst driving and died when he crashed his Daewoo Matiz into a stationary vehicle.

Emergency services were called and worked hard to save the man. Sgt Stuart Pitman said his thoughts were with the man’s family and he thanked drivers for their patience whilst the road was closed.

Medication, alcohol and tiredness can all contribute to poor concentration and difficulty in driving. Think before you drive.
