Tonbridge driver knows her limits!

Tonbridge driver Vicki Cheverall has proved she certainly knows her Highway Code as she wins a brand new Cannon SLR digital camera in the Partnership’s Know the Limits campaign.

The Know the Limits game show - a fun and interactive way to educate road users - recently finished touring the county at various shopping centres. Those who knew their stuff about speed limits, stopping distances and safety cameras got the chance to win a digital radio and were entered into the free draw to win the camera.

The campaign also had a website www.knowthelimits.org where drivers took part in the quiz. There was even a local radio version of Know the Limits where the public tested their knowledge - in a phone-in - of the speed limits in their own town and had the chance of winning a DAB digital radio.

On accepting her prize Vicki said: “I passed my test last year and am pleased to say staying within the limit has made sure I have not received any points on my licence. I tested my Highway Code knowledge on the Know the Limits website after hearing about the game show on my local radio. I found it was a great way to educate people as you were told the correct answer if you got one wrong, it was also fun and I'm really pleased with my prize it’s excellent.”

Rachel Wall Communications Manager for the Partnership said: “The Know the Limits team would like to congratulate Vicki on winning the game show. The campaign was developed to be a fun, unique but informative way of trying to educate motorists about which speed limits apply to which road and in which vehicle plus much, much more. We are therefore pleased to hear that Vicki learnt a bit more about the Highway Code but also enjoyed giving the 10 questions a go on our website.”
