But don't wear a lanyard while driving. The injuries caused by airbags combined with a lanyard can be horrendous #roaddanger
This is a good read about the idea of "Kids Streets" in #Birmingham & #Coventry. It's one thing to make the journey to school safer, but if we want our children to be able to travel independently and safely to sports clubs, friends' houses & more, we need to think bigger. #SchoolStreets #RoadDanger
A new Road Safety Strategy has been published today! 🚘🛴🚲🏍️🦽🚴♂️⛹️♀️👨🦯👭👩🦼➡️
The Government is keen on a Safe System approach, but the measures aren't simply being adopted, there will be a lot of consultation. See:
www.gov.uk/government/n...
#RoadSafety #RoadDanger
There's a *FREE* #RoadSafety Strategy discussion with a great panel on Fri 9th Jan, 09:30 - 11:00.
The full info was in an email. Can't find it on the website, but this is where you register:

A road with a wide pavement. There is a small car park on the right, with an SUV poking very far out onto the pavement. The text says "Carspreading. King of the...pavement?".
Today's BBC #Carspreading article takes a good look at the issue of the rise of the SUV, with reasons and solutions, but doesn't mention #RoadDanger at all. Children are 82% more likely to suffer fatal injuries in an SUV collision than one involving a car. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Weather forecast for Brighton & Hove showing 0 degrees at 0900
Going to be a bit chilly first thing tomorrow for #QueensPark & St Lukes Community #Speedwatch ❄️ Still, it's important to be there helping to keep our community safe(r) from #RoadDanger as part of @brakecharity.bsky.social #RoadSafetyWeek www.brake.org.uk/road-safety-...!
Did someone say 'intimidating'?

Why was #CelebrityTraitors one big SUV ad?!
SUVs like the Defender are three times more likely to kill a child under 10 in the event of a crash, compared to a small car.
This form of advertising needs challenging. #AirPollution #RoadDanger
Unfortunate focus on car drivers as if no one else is involved! @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social
At least the College of Optometrists mentions cyclists!
People walking/wheeling/scooting also don't want to face blinding lights in their streets.

Ever been dazzled by car headlights when you're cycling?
Most of this article is from the windscreen perspective, but at least the College of Optometrists mentions cyclists!

Overtaken and brake checked by the driver of Tesla #LD74OXA approaching Botley, West Oxford #roaddanger #visionzero
Irresponsible ‘both sides’ reporting on vulnerable road users from #BBCLookNorth here, in a week when two unprovoked attacks on fe mail cyclists have been reported.
Why is there never sensational reporting on the main cause of #RoadDanger, unsafe and uninsured drivers?
Barnet Council is looking for insights about its draft 20mph zone policy. If you're in #Barnet or North London, please respond by 21st August. #AirPollution #RoadDanger
These plans are only radical - as described by the @_FleetNews journalist - if you subscribe to a #motonormativity view.
If you see vehicles in terms of #roaddanger, #carbonemissions and #pollution, then the proposals are sensible and essential:

A young life taken far too soon and quite deliberately by a suv driver with anger management issues - and *with his own child in the vehicle*.
When next in Paris, seek out the cycle route in memory of Paul Varry and continue to campaign to stop #roaddanger from our obsession with cars
Good work by @transportaction.bsky.social! Let's see a switch from funding grandiose road schemes to action to reducing #RoadDanger instead.
Good to see this - slower speeds are a no-brainer if you want to protect people, reduce noise and pollution and make areas more welcoming. #RoadDanger #VisionZero
This #Carspreading trend needs to reverse.
Children are 82 per cent more likely to suffer fatal injuries in a SUV collision than one involving a car. In children under 10, the risk of death was 130 per cent higher. 😓

I commented somewhere recently that it's unfair to run a town without useful public transport because it encourages people to drive when they shouldn't and harm themselves and others.
Now we see that NHS staff fatigue combines with a lack of public transport to kill them, and others, on the […]
‘Mr Doyle said he wanted councillors to imagine the carnage and potential loss of life, adding: “This is the potential disaster unfolding before our eyes.”’

Wondering how we can achieve vision zero…? 20mph as the default urban speed limit as part of a safe systems approach is surely a no-brained! #visionzero #roaddanger #roadpeace
"More than 24,000 vehicles were caught on camera being driven at more than 100mph (161km/h) between 2019 and 2023, police data shows" FOI by @BBCNews has discovered. #WestSussex #RoadDanger www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This was a good webinar with Chief Constable Jo Shiner, the National Police Chiefs' Council lead for roads policing on the panel. Also @lauralaker.bsky.social RoadPeace and others. Sponsored by Slater Gordon. #RoadJustice #RoadDanger

"Social/behavioural interventions alone had little impact."
Remember that when councils use "encouragement" for #ActiveTravel instead of dealing with #RoadDanger.
The campaign will soon issue a press release about this crash on a crossing known & previously reported to be dangerous.

The cover of a government document called "School Streets: how to set up and manage a scheme". There is a blue background with part of the front of a school showing. The school is called Whitehall Primary School.
We're very happy to see this new government guidance for local authorities on how to set up and manage a #SchoolStreet. A long time coming! Time for some light reading. #AirPollution #RoadDanger
