A road safety watchdog has warned the public to use their indicators to cut down on crashes.

The Bermuda Road Safety Council said it had adopted the slogan Signal Early for September.

A spokesman for the BRSC said: “Too often while travelling on our roads we witness instances of vehicles turning without giving ample warning to other road users.

“Indicators are there to warn other drivers that a vehicle may be about to turn left or right – if it safe to do so.

“Before carrying out any manoeuvre, it is important to check your mirrors, side and rear view, to ensure that it is safe.”
