Somerset’s road safety team ‘to make thousands safer’ in 2022

Authorities in London are being warned that plans to introduce a new road user charging system – in a bid to reduce transport emissions – will punish those who cannot afford an electric car.

Catching those who choose to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs ‘will always be a priority for officers’, whatever the time of year.

Places remain available on a number of online training courses being delivered by the Road Safety GB Academy over the next few months.

The Scottish Government has set out a range of actions it hopes will lead to a 20% reduction in the number of kilometres travelled by car by 2030.

In line with the Transport Committee’s recent recommendations, the rollout of new smart motorway schemes will be paused until five years’ worth of safety data is available, the Government has announced.
