📹 The PSNI’s Head of Road Policing, Chief Inspector Celeste Simpson, reminds drivers to approach roadworks carefully and be prepared for changing conditions. A moment’s distraction or impatience can put someone’s life at risk. At roadworks, slow down and be prepared for workers, machinery and vehicles operating nearby. #RoadWorkerSafetyWeek #SlowDown #RoadSafety @NIRoadPolicing
