Aware is a non profit organisation set out to help bring awareness to the dangers that the many men and women face every day when working on Britains road networks, we aim to change the habits of the UK`s drivers and ask them that they respect the working environment of a breakdown incident.. Far too many people are either killed or seriously injured every year simply because drivers did not pay attention when on approach to a breakdown situation.
