Road Safety Week

This week, we have been lucky to have been visited by Phil - a lorry driver - during Road Safety Week. Phil spoke to us about how to stay safe around lorries on the road, and told us what some of the signs meant on his lorry. After his talk, we even got a chance to have a look around different parts of his lorry - it was very exciting!
