Imagine a transport system where ‘we’ think almost 5 deaths a day from rail, maritime, or air travel were an acceptable price for rail, maritime or air travel? Thankfully, we don’t have to!
Yet, ‘we’ accept that level of risk for travelling on Britain’s roads …
Go fathom …. !!

As part of a Safe System to #StopRoadDeath safe roads, including maintenance and pot hole repair, need to feature and be connected with road danger and not just vehicle damage or inconvenience. Badly maintained roads can be a contributory factor to death or serious injury. See @metrouk.bsky.social ⬇️
I am sure Ronan Keating speaks for many after the death of his brother: “you can kill a man .. & walk free .. & we wonder why we keep seeing this kind of behaviour .. why people are dying” on our roads. I am so sorry & thank you for speaking out! #StopRoadDeath

.. happen, we will be able to take a huge step forward to address injury trauma from road crashes, after decades of neglect.
We should welcome the commitment to #StopRoadDeath with action to make it happen, at least for now. Support will have to wait until the Strategy is delivered … next …
Road death / road danger: We have not had a national strategy to #StopRoadDeath for 15 years - we are told one is on its way, and it will include the Safe System approach; a focus on areas of high risk, including young drivers, and it will be guided by the evidence. If these promises … next …
