A new campaign has been launched to promote safer driving on Shropshire's A-roads.
The Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service has announced its 'Bring Your A-Game' campaign after saying that the majority of collisions take place on the county's busy network of A-roads.
The fire service data reports that there have been 163 collisions on these roads since 2021, and 39 people died as a result of these incidents while another 168 were seriously injured. The fire service will be at Harper Adams University tomorrow and has already visited Market Drayton Cattle Market, a car show at the West Midlands Showground, and a biker meet in Whitchurch.
The fire service said:"With unexpected hazards, changing road conditions and sharp bends, A-roads bring a variety of risks not seen as regularly during motorway driving.
