The pledge includes the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Always be fit to drive<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stay focused on the road<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scan the road ahead<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep a safe distance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drive to suit the conditions<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fatality Free Friday is believed to demonstrate the impact of just how one day of focusing on road safety can make a difference. And if that one day makes a difference every year, why can\u2019t it make a difference every day of the year?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">New research conducted for the ASRF found that almost a third of all road users had confessed to caring more about their health than road safety. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">56% of the participants survey admitted to risky behaviour such as not driving on the road conditions and eating behind the wheel. Yet 29% admitted to refusing to change their behaviour, even if it was deemed illegal. This alone provides further evidence that road surfaces are now more important than ever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Global Roads and Technology, we are committed to helping government departments and local authorities to help keep the road surfaces from degradation. Studies conducted have proven that roads constructed with GRT\u2019s range of innovative products are more robust and able to stand up to the demands of heavy traffic loads or weak subgrades.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Main highways, local suburban roads and haul roads can all benefit from the environmentally friendly polymers resulting in:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b>Increased load-bearing: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Global Road Technology\u2019s products can increase the weight capacity and flexural capacity of road surfaces. Stronger roads are subject to fewer potholes and have the ability to withstand heavy traffic usage. This not only improves road safety, but it is far more cost-effective and sustainable.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Increased durability:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> In addition to strength, GRT products also provide longevity reducing the amount of money and time spent of road maintenance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What will you do to support this road safety initiative? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As someone in a position of power and ability to influence the purchasing decision, consider the difference GRT could make to local roads and highways in your area. It\u2019s not going to solve the issue of careless drivers or freak accidents, but stronger more durable roads may make for safer roads.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span
