🚗 Before you drive, give your car a quick check. 👀

More than 10,000 drivers have been caught driving unroadworthy vehicles, highlighting just how important those simple checks can be.

Before heading off, take a minute to check:

🔧 Tyres – Are they properly inflated and showing enough tread?
💡 Lights – Are all your headlights, brake lights and indicators working?
🪟 Windscreen – Any cracks, chips or anything blocking your view?
🛑 Brakes – Any unusual noises or changes in how they feel?
🔋 Fluids – Have you checked your oil, coolant and screenwash?

It only takes a few minutes, but it could help you spot a problem before you hit the road.

✈️ Annual travel insurance or single-trip cover - which is right for you?

It’s easy to renew an annual travel insurance policy and forget about it… but is it still the best option for your plans? 👀

Before your next trip, think about:

🌍 How many trips are you taking?
💷 How much is your holiday worth?
🧳 Does your policy have enough baggage and cancellation cover?
🏔️ Are you planning any activities or cruises?
❤️ Have your circumstances changed since you bought your policy?

If you’re only planning one trip, a single-trip policy could sometimes make more sense. Taking several trips? Annual cover may be worth considering.

The important thing is to check your cover before you travel - don’t just assume your existing policy still fits.

🚗💨 406 MPH. On a car. 🤯

British driver Andy Green has just set a new world record for the fastest speed ever achieved by a hydrogen-powered car, reaching a staggering 406mph (654km/h) at Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats.

For context, that’s around 6 times the UK motorway speed limit! 😳

Andy isn’t new to breaking speed records either - in 1997, he became the first person to break the sound barrier on land, reaching 763mph.

Pretty impressive… but we’ll leave the record-breaking speeds to the professionals. 😂

For the rest of us, drive safe, stick to the speed limit and enjoy the journey. 🛣️
