🔥 We’re Walking on Fire for an Incredible Cause – Will You Support Us? 🔥

Riverside Chiropractic Group is taking on a FIREWALK CHALLENGE in support of Hydrocephalus & Spina Bifida Scotland — and yes… that means walking barefoot across 20 feet of burning wood embers at over 1,200°F!

But this isn’t just about bravery.
It’s about children and families who face daily challenges far tougher than hot coals.

This event begins with a powerful, fun and motivational seminar designed to build confidence and courage — and ends with participants walking across glowing embers in front of friends and family. It’s inspiring, uplifting, and a little bit nerve-tingling… but every step is for a reason.

Charities like Hydrocephalus & Spina Bifida Scotland rely heavily on fundraising events like this to provide:
• Specialist support for families
• Access to resources and equipment
• Community networks and education
• A better quality of life for children living with these conditions

While we walk for a few seconds, these children live with their challenges every single day. That perspective is what fuels us to take part.

If you’d like to support our firewalk and help make a real difference, even the smallest donation goes a long way. Together we can turn a hot step into a positive impact. ❤️

Thank you for cheering us on, supporting the cause, and helping us bring warmth and hope where it’s truly needed.

Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire Drivers – Please Take Extra Care on the Roads Today

There is significant surface water and localised flooding across many routes just now. Even roads that normally drain well can become hazardous very quickly. If you do need to travel, slow down, stay alert, and assume that standing water may be deeper than it looks.

Why this matters
Surface water is one of the main causes of loss-of-control incidents in wet weather. When tyres cannot clear water fast enough, the car can start to aquaplane (also called hydroplaning). At that point the tyres are no longer gripping the road — you are effectively skimming on water with little or no steering or braking control.

Practical tips to reduce aquaplaning risk

1. Slow down earlier than you think you need to
Speed is the biggest factor in aquaplaning. Even a modest reduction in speed significantly improves tyre contact and braking distance. Leave more space between you and the car in front so you are not forced into sudden braking.

2. Drive smoothly through standing water
If you must pass through a large puddle or flooded section:
• Keep a steady, gentle throttle — do not accelerate hard.
• Avoid sharp steering inputs.
• Do not brake suddenly while in the water; brake lightly once you are clear to dry the discs and regain feel.

3. Check tyre condition and pressure
Tyres with worn tread or incorrect pressure cannot disperse water effectively. Adequate tread depth and proper inflation dramatically improve wet-weather grip.

4. Stay in the tracks of the vehicle ahead
Where safe, follow the clearer tyre paths already made. They often contain less standing water than untouched lanes.

5. Use dipped headlights in heavy rain
This improves your visibility and helps other drivers see you sooner.

What happens if water reaches your engine?

Petrol and diesel vehicles
If water splashes high enough to enter the air intake or flood the engine bay, it can be extremely serious. Engines are designed to compress air and fuel — not water. Water does not compress, so if enough enters a cylinder it can cause hydrolock, which may bend internal components such as connecting rods and lead to catastrophic engine failure. Even smaller amounts can damage electronics, sensors, belts, or alternators and result in expensive repairs.

Water over the bonnet does not always mean instant failure, but it is a strong warning sign that the depth may be unsafe. Depth is often very difficult to judge from the driver’s seat.

Electric vehicles (EVs)
EVs are built with sealed battery packs and high-voltage systems designed to withstand heavy rain and road spray. However, deep flooding still presents risk. Prolonged submersion or water entering charging ports, connectors, or cabin electronics can lead to corrosion, system faults, or safety shutdowns. EVs are generally resilient to normal wet driving conditions, but driving through deep floodwater is never recommended for any vehicle type.

Bottom line

If you cannot clearly see the road surface beneath the water, assume it may be too deep. Turn around where safe and choose an alternative route. A short delay is far better than losing control of your vehicle or causing mechanical damage that could leave you stranded.

Drive defensively, stay patient, and look out for one another on the roads today.
