Wokingham Road Safety Event

Wokingham Borough Council, along with the emergency services, was seen in force on Wednesday June 1 in Wokingham town centre in a bid to prevent drivers using their mobile phone whilst driving.

The main event in the Market Place involved Wokingham Fire Station's fire fighters and Wexham Ambulance Station's crews demonstrating the expertise needed to free a trapped driver from a car following a collision caused by using a phone whilst driving.

The Council's Road Safety Team and Community Wardens distributed leaflets as well as handing out freebies including key rings and hi-vis tabards to the public. Thames Valley Police, South Central Ambulance Service, Air Ambulance, and IAM (Institute of Advanced Motorists) also provided information and advice on the day.
