REACTION: IAM RoadSmart responds to reported road safety measures being considered by UK Government
Responding to reports in The Times about the UK Government’s road safety plans:
IAM RoadSmart Director of Policy and Standards Nicholas Lyes said: “Given progress on reducing fatal and serious collisions has stalled in recent years, we welcome the UK Government’s ambition to publish an updated road safety strategy with the reported measures being a step in the right direction. While many drivers over the age of 70 are safe and competent, health issues and confidence can have an impact on driving abilities, so it is sensible to review whether changes need to be made. We would also support reducing the drink drive limit in England and Wales alongside measures to target drug driving, however these would require significantly more backing for roads policing teams to effectively enforce new laws."
