Attended a wonderful @NewsfromTRL reunion this afternoon and among the fantastic photo archives was this picture of a young David Coulthard on the test track. Presumably in the @renault_uk @WilliamsRacing days on the basis of the car! #F1 #Formula1

I remember my Mum's instinct when braking suddenly was to throw her arm across to the passenger seat. I was never convinced of the effectiveness of that, even as a child! Seems ridiculous now.

Personally I'm amazed this isn't a bigger scandal. I understand there are gov, business and societal complexities but surely manufacturers must do the moral and ethical thing even where governments haven't set minimum safety standards?

20mph limits, which have been used in the UK since the 1990s, have been independently assessed and found to substantially reduce vehicle speeds and casualties. 🚦📷pacts.org.uk/lustre-lower-ur……
Compelling interview. As we told the @TransportCttee, 547 lives, 57,000 casualties and £3.5 billion could have been saved if additional driver licencing measures were applied when considered in 2004. What are we waiting for? #VisionZero #RoadSafety @Beccysays @AndyCoxDCS
Fantastic interview by Chris @Beccysays just now on @BBCNews, very informative and a fully comprehensive discussion for #GDL, you simply put the key points across superbly 👏👏👏
This could otherwise be headlined "Plans to update the driver licencing process to protect young people and save lives". Obvs not as catchy! @thetimes #roadsafety #safesystem #VisionZero
New drivers aged under 25 may be stopped from carrying young passengers as part of a “graduated driving licence” being considered by ministers

Worth remembering that two-thirds of drivers support: - all new cars having built-in speed limiters
- 12 month minimum learner period before test
- 50mph speed limit on rural roads.
Imagine there was a referendum! shorturl.at/fvDGM @transportgovuk #RoadSafety #safesystem
I worked on an early draft of this with the MoD and got to understand the complexities of implementing a strategy across such a large institution with unique operating requirements. The principles we embedded have been retained which is great to see #VisionZero #RoadSafety
Today @DefenceHQ has published their Defence Road Safety Strategy assets.publishing.service.go…. Road traffic collisions are one of the top 3 causes of armed forces fatalities, which disproportionately affect younger personnel. #RoadSafety
Well done @EastSussexCC for the initiative to make speed limits appropriate for local roads. Let's face it, the national speed limit is lazy engineering. Limits appropriate for the road context should be applied in all regions. @Road_Safety_GB #VisionZero

Finally we're writing shocked headlines about people driving over the speed limit....oh wait. There is so much wrong about this headline I don't know where to start!

It is so encouraging to see young driver safety being discussed and debated in parliament. Crucially, evidence-based approaches to save lives are no longer being dismissed. Thank you @Beccysays @SharronHuddles2 @RaddSeiger @andrealeadsom @RicHolden

Why should we introduce phased driver licensing (#GDL) in GB @transportgovuk? Well, because young lives and families are devastated with each one that occurs. There's a duty to protect inexperienced drivers, and the public sharing the roads with them #RoadSafetyWeek @Brakecharity

On the back of the latest report on young driver safety from @racfoundation @ReesJRF and @NewsfromTRL, this short blog for @humn_ai questions why we don’t apply simple but effective risk management to save lives #youngdrivers #VisionZero @ProjectEdward

The @TransportCttee and @transportgovuk need to reconsider a phased driver licensing process to save lives on Britain's roads. This new report does the work you wouldn't and considers the evidence for the barriers to implementation. #safesystem #gdl #youngdrivers #VisionZero
Today we’ve published the report ‘Supporting new drivers in Great Britain’ racfoundation.org/wp-content… supported by @racfoundation @ReesJRF, which confirms the benefits of graduated driver licensing. More info at racfoundation.org/media-cent… #RoadSafety #Youngdrivers #GDL @NewsfromTRL
Personalising your fellow road user, regardless of their mode. Love it @THINKgovuk #roadsafety #TravelLikeYouKnowThem
Today we’re launching our new #HighwayCode campaign, reminding people that whoever you meet on the roads, you should #TravelLikeYouKnowThem.
Slow down, give space and check the Highway Code changes to help keep everyone safe.

In the last few years gun crime moved ahead of road deaths as the biggest killer of young people in the US. Both are preventable public health issues. This wonderfully impassioned response from basketball coach @SteveKerr is what happens when #humanity comes first.

Cross-party support for well researched standards to save lives, that is also supported by industry and doesn't disadvantage the public. Great letter that seems difficult to argue with @PACTS @transportgovuk @NewsfromTRL
Six - cross party - former road safety ministers support @transportgovuk implementing full package of vehicle safety measures applied across EU from July. This includes Intelligent Speed Assistance. See @PACTS letter to @grantshapps. Voices of reason not reaction on road safety.
Excited to have joined humn.ai today. There is so much potential in the use of behavioural, vehicle and environmental data to understand and manage risk. Looking forward to learning more and supporting ongoing research and development.

Intrigue caused me to look up a fatal crash in 2004. Local news at the time reported quotes from a devastated husband & noted the deceased 40yo driver had a 9yo son. He'll be 27. Made me think how annual casualty figures disguise the true ongoing trauma. #RoadSafety #VisionZero
