Vehicle Safety

There are a number of precautions you can take in order to keep your vehicle safe when you are not

using it.

Car Security

• Always lock your car doors and close the windows.

• Do not leave anything on display that could attract thieves, for

example a CD  player, a bag or a jacket.

• Do not keep your car documents in the car; put them in a safe

place at home.

Bicycle Security

• Always lock your bicycle up with a chain and padlock or a special

Bike lock.

• Take all removable items with you, for example your helmet.

• Take a note of the model and make of your bike. Use an  

ultraviolet marker to write your postcode on your bike. These pens are not expensive and are available from most

hardware stores.

• Ask the police for a 'Recorded Cycle form'. Once you have filled it in, you and your bike will be on a

national database and if your bike is found it will be quickly matched to you.
