20.01.2022 One of the simplest ways to scare off a would-be burglar, is to light up your home. Having a well-lit entry, with sensor lights front, back and sides, will go along way to discouraging a crook from breaking in to your place. Criminals don’t want to be seen let alone caught. If you don't have sensor lights, consider installing them. And if you do already have them, test them regularly to make sure they're working and lighting up the right spot.... There are lots of other very simple things you can do to keep your home safe from a break-in. Find out more at https://bddy.me/3ljfTzi

10.01.2022 If an offer of #QuickCash or #EasyMoney seems too good to be true, it probably is. Money muling is a type of money laundering. A ‘money mule’ is a person who receives money from a third party in their bank account and transfers it to another account, or withdraws it in cash to give to someone else, obtaining a commission for their efforts.... Simply put, money mules help criminal syndicates move money around the world, but the consequences for the money mules can be severe.

05.01.2022 Overtaking trucks and other large vehicles Follow these suggestions to safely overtake a truck or other large vehicle: slow down until you can see the driver in the truck mirrors. This means the driver knows you are there... keep your distance until it is safe to overtake avoid cutting in front of a truck too closely after passing it it takes about 25 seconds to overtake a large truck on the open road - that's a long time if you are on the wrong side of the road allow for the trucks increasing speed on the downhill run if you overtake at or near a crest ease back on your speed when a truck is overtaking you. This reduces the time the truck will be beside you always check the truck's indicators. If it is about to change lanes or turn, wait for another opportunity in wet weather conditions drivers should be mindful of the amount of spray likely to be thrown out from trucks and the resulting loss of visibility, when overtaking For further info please see: https://bddy.me/36uOYMS
