Useful Tips

The internet

• If you don't want to be inundated with junk email avoid giving out your email address unnecessarily.

• Only give credit card details if you are sure you are on a secure Web Page (indicated by a small padlock icon)

• Never send credit card details by email.

• When choosing passwords, try not to make it too obvious.  A combination of letters and numbers is the best option.

• When talking in chat rooms remember you don't know who you are talking to, they could be anyone.
   
• Be cautious when opening attachments within emails (especially from unknown sources) as these can often contain a virus or
phishing codes.
 

Insurance

If you are unfortunate enough to have an accident involving a foreign lorry then bear in mind that many overseas lorries have a different number plate for the cabin part to that of the trailer.

Ensure you take note of both numbers as these will be required by your insurance company.
