01:18and we like all motorists to, you know, take your time, observe the road rules, observe the signage on the road, pavement markings
01:30and if you aren't clear on how to use the roads, you know, go back, look at the highways codes
01:36and see how you should operate a motor vehicle, even as a pedestrian, how to operate on the roadway.

01:50It's a privilege to be on the road and we have to ensure that we protect ourselves and our families
01:55and our neighbours while you're on the road network system because road safety is everyone's business.
