Integrity Tyres & Auto Services, Lisburn recently hosted a special ladies car maintenance course on Thursday 21 November in the midst of Road Safety Week 2024 (17 to 23 November 2024).
The course, which was well attended, covered a range of car maintenance measures aimed at improving knowledge of car safety including checking fluid levels, tyre pressures and understanding vehicle warning lights. The event was delivered by Lisburn & Castlereagh PCSP, PSNI and Integrity Tyres & Auto Services. The PCSP also took the opportunity to give a short presentation on road safety focusing on the Fatal Five:
• Don’t Drink and Drive
• Slow Down
• Don’t get Careless
• Belt Up
• Stay off your phone
Cllr Sharon Lowry, Chair of Lisburn & Castlereagh PCSP commented, “I’m delighted PCSP organised this very practical workshop to improve basic car maintenance and road safety during road safety awareness week. A similar event was held in Dundonald in June this year with positive feedback from attendees with everyone agreeing it was a good way of improving knowledge around this important and serious subject. I would like to personally thank PCSP staff, PSNI and Integrity Tyres & Auto Services who supported this initiative.”
One of the Police Service’s Road Education Officers added: “This was a valuable event highlighting the importance of road safety and in particular, the Fatal Five principles, which are an excellent guide for all motorists to adhere to, day and daily.
“I would like to personally thank everyone who was involved in organising the event, as well as all those who took the time to participate.”
