Racing videos

A young driver who posted a video of himself driving at high speeds will soon be sentenced. What are the accident stats for young drivers?

Whether you're a driver or a pedestrian, taking care on the road should be second nature.

If you have a prang in your car, there's no need to panic, but there are a few things you should know.

Always keep mobile phones and valuables like jewellery out of sight. Put things like jewellery chains underneath your clothing.
Keep your luggage close at hand at all times and in sight if possible. Do not have your name or address visible on any tags.
Carry a phone card, charge card or change for the phone.
On buses and trains, try sitting near other people in a busy carriage.
