Very timely survey ... big risk to #RoadSafety that too many drivers will “switch off” even when they should be fully alert and awake. Level 3 worries me especially. We must find solutions here. #automation

As the World Conference on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion opens today, it is vital that a new global road safety target is adopted to halve road deaths and serious injuries by 50% by 2030! #50by30 #Safety2018

Delighted to see MPs such as @FitzMP raise issue of setting target to halve road deaths & serious injuries in #RoadSafetyDebateUK. #50by30 issue won’t go away as prevention strategy incoherent without overall performance measure. Read full debate here hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2018-1…

Strong case for adoption of a road safety target made by Matt Rodda in #RoadSafetyDebateUK. The Govt already accepted both EU & UN SDG target for 2020 so hard to understand why it won’t now set a new target to halve road deaths & serious injuries #50by30 hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2018-1…

Road traffic crashes are not “accidents”. When someone drives drunk and crashes, it’s not an accident. When a driver is distracted by their mobile phone and crashes, it’s not an accident. When a motorcyclist dies because they’re not wearing a helmet, it’s not an accident.

Please read the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Status Report on #RoadSafety. it is clear that road safety needs to be a higher priority in the global agenda. It's now the biggest killer of children and young adults across the globe and 1.35 million people are still dying on our roads.#TimeForChange
