Reader comments – house rules

At Road Safety GB we encourage healthy debate about road safety issues – that’s why we give readers the opportunity to comment on news items.

However, we are determined to ensure that any debate on our website is courteous, respectful and professional.

That’s the reason for these very simple house rules:

• We won’t publish any comments that are aggressive, abusive or contain foul language.
• We won’t publish any comments that contain an overt personal attack on an individual or organisation.
• We encourage contributors, wherever possible, to refrain from personalising their response to someone else’s post.
• We will not publish – at our absolute discretion, and without explanation – any post that we feel contravenes the tone and spirit of debate/discussion on this newsfeed.

 That’s it in terms of house rules!

If we receive a comment that breaches any of the above, we will either delete it or edit out any offending sections. If you don’t like our edit, we will remove the comment.

One final tip – brief comments tend to get read more widely than lengthy ones!
