Motoring Assist has circulated around a million copies of their updated leaflet Personal Safety on the Road  - 10th December 2007

GEM Motoring Assist (GEM) has revised and updated its popular publication Personal Safety on the Road, with around one million copies having been given away free of charge.

GEM formerly known as the Guild of Experienced motorists has produced the booklet in conjunction with the Suzy Lamplight Trust, a personal safety organisation to help motorists stay safe.

Chief Executive of GEM David Williams stated that mostly women had received the booklet helping them to stay safe on the UK’s roads, adding “More and more people are living and therefore often travelling alone and we have seen a massive rise in the number of independent women who have influential jobs that involve travel.”

He continued “Today’s professional woman needs to feel safe and secure while going about her business or travelling for leisure and pleasure and this booklet gives a series of important pointers.”

Contained in the booklet is information on things such as:

keeping safe if you breakdown

or are involved in a road accident and what you should do,

child safety laws, child seat selection,

basic car maintenance,

how to deal with road rage attacks

and not advertising you are a women travelling alone by leaving things like bags or shoes lying around the vehicle.
