Yesterday I met with the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety to listen to their priorities for our Road Safety Strategy.
We will work with them and others to deliver this strategy – the first in over a decade – to improve road safety for all and save lives.

@jonesy_1972 @LancsRoadPolice @DVSAEnforcement @Cumbriapolice @gmptraffic Colloquially yes, but where is it referred to in the law? Notifications via ESDAL or CASCADE are NOT a movement order.
English
@TransafeNetwork @LancsRoadPolice @DVSAEnforcement @Cumbriapolice @gmptraffic All abnormal loads need a movement order. It’s will give you a route to take and what time you can depart. Also it notifies all the regions forces that you will enter.
English
CVU officers and @DVSAEnforcement have today trained Lancs RPU officers and @Cumbriapolice RPU officers in the inspection of abnormal loads. Several vehicles were found to be overweight or not compliant with their movement orders. There was even a visit from @gmptraffic CVU.
English
Wait for it...
Which is exactly what the driver should have done.
No, not the red car...
Surrey RoadSafe@SurreyRS
Here's a shocking example of a #closepass caught on cam. It cost the driver: 9 Points on their licence A fine of £600 Surcharge of £66 Costs of £110 Motorists, leave at least 1.5m when overtaking at 30mph. More if overtaking at higher speeds. #2wheels

@Rob_AQMobility Hi Rob, this work was actually @TransSafeAfrica (no connection but doing some great work!)
English
Textbook behaviour from driver and cyclist. If we can all channel this when we use the roads we can make the world a safer place.
@
So often we see or share videos of awful driving around cyclists, so this textbook pass from an exceptionally patient & careful HGV driver for D&W Agri coming into Jedburgh deserves sharing, as does Rhoda's response! They're not on Twitter but we've thanked the haulier directly.

@oxyuris @Anthony54296548 @SurreyRS Yes, and within the central area of this tyre is 0.5mm, why are you finding that so difficult to grasp?
English
@TransafeNetwork @Anthony54296548 @SurreyRS Maybe you could learn something too. It's 1mm for 3/4 of the width of the tyre and visible tread for the other 1/4.
I was incorrect because the 3/4 has to be central to the tyre, with the worn 1/4 to the edge or edges.
English
The rider of this motorbike was seen exceeding 75mph in a 40mph zone in Godalming.
When stopped by #VanguardRST, his tyre was found to have just 0.5mm of tread and an illegal plate.
Rider reported to court.

@claudebuttocks @IanofBradley @RoadPolicing @nevstah @PoliceStafford If you think a good solicitor would get you off as clear a road traffic contravention as driving through a red light, we have some magic beans to sell you.
English
That moment when you wished you hadn’t overtook the unmarked Traffic car and run a Red Light 🤔 @PoliceStafford
Silly behaviour to beat a red light 🚦 gets you no where!
What it does get you is £100 fine and 3pts. ✅
Section 36 of the Road Traffic Act 1988!

English
@oxyuris @Anthony54296548 @SurreyRS You said yourself it's a 1mm limit for bikes, and that tyre only has 0.5mm as measured by the officer who stopped it. How was it ever going to be legal?
English
@Anthony54296548 @SurreyRS Ahh, yeah ok, thank you, I am incorrect.
3/4 in a single band across the tyre, the edges can be worn, but not the middle.
Not that I would ever allow any tyre to get anywhere near the state of that one.

@Emma_MacLennan @LordWhitty @EASSTransport Can remember him in front of the Transport Select Committee, very clearly on top of his brief and passionate about it. Mind you, with Gwyneth Dunwoody chairing, you needed to be!
English
Proud that @LordWhitty is our @EASSTransport Patron and was Chair for many years. He is passionate about road safety still! 🥰

In 1987 the Conservative gvt @PBottomleyMP was the first to set road casualty reduction targets - deaths and serious injuries dropped by 42% In 2000 the Labour gvt @LordWhitty continued with targets - deaths and serious injuries dropped by 39% In 2011 the Coalition gvt @PhilipHammondUK decided we did not need casualty reduction targets - since then deaths have reduced by 2% (this data period includes the pandemic years!) In 2021 the Conservative gvt promised to published a new road safety strategy. No such strategy has been published. No casualty reduction targets. In 2024 we have a #generalelection. Will anyone commit to have a road safety strategy and road casualty reduction targets, and join with 33 road safety organisations led by @PACTS calling for a politicians to take road death and road danger seriously, and take action in 4 areas to save life, reduce disability and save money too? @RishiSunak @Keir_Starmer @EdwardJDavey @LouHaigh @Mark_J_Harper @Wera_Hobhouse @TheGreenParty

@DayoDayo40 @ian_m_greenwood @PBottomleyMP @LordWhitty @Brakecharity @RoadPeace @TowardsZeroFdn @racfoundation @roadvictimstrus @AAPresident @IAMRoadSmart @SafeRoadDesign @ThatchamRsrch @UKROEd A range of things - e.g. police numbers reduced significantly, but so did budgets for research, road safety education, publicity and training etc etc. DfT are running their first seatbelt wearing campaign in 13 YEARS because deaths from not wearing seatbelts have increased...
English
@ian_m_greenwood @PBottomleyMP @LordWhitty @Brakecharity @RoadPeace @TowardsZeroFdn @racfoundation @roadvictimstrus @AAPresident @IAMRoadSmart @SafeRoadDesign @ThatchamRsrch @UKROEd What did they actually stop doing after 2011 Ian that caused the figures to almost plateau? Did the Road Traffic Police numbers reduce significantly, did the justice system begin handing out pathetic sentences for driving offences. What changed?

@DavidDjward @transportgovuk @PACTS @BarrySheerman @Bill_Esterson @saulbillingsley @RuthCadbury @Emma_MacLennan @Brakecharity @rcuerden_trl @SebDance @NicholasHellen Anthony Browne might be losing out to independent @borofergie rather than the Lib Dems... first Independent MP to be elected since Martin Bell is a possibility.

Not long to wait before these hapless Ministers are either on the bank benches or looking for new jobs. In nearly 30 years of engagement with transport issues I’ve never seen a more useless group of lacklustre politicians @transportgovuk.
English
@Brick_Cop @metpoliceuk 2/2 ...in that situation. And those situations of struggling with a suspect or being in close quarters with one are still more of a daily occurrence than the sword/chainsaw scenarios. Better holsters now but still around 5% of police shot dead in USA are with the officer's weapon
English
@Brick_Cop @metpoliceuk 1/2 A colleague says the most scared he ever was in his service was being deployed to calls like pub fights in the 1970's when routinely deployed with a pistol on his hip due to the IRA threat. The thought that someone might grab the gun in the melee and use it on him...
English
I’ll be honest, someone running at me with a samurai sword, I’d like a Glock.
Or, someone chasing me down the road with a chainsaw, I’d also like a Glock.
I don’t think that’s a ridiculous proposal and I don’t think it’s an unreasonable expectation anymore. 🤷🏼♂️

a very productive operation today at J3 of the M5 with @DVSAgovuk @DVSAEnforcement resulted in 14 vehicles being prohibited (PG9) for various offences, 4 vehicles being seized for No Insurance/Tax and one stolen vehicle being recovered!

@00Burt @MerPolTraffic You can take sunglasses off in poor weather and at night...
There are various offences which can be used if you drive during the hours of darkness in sunglasses.
English
The chameleon tinted windscreen, heavily tinted front windows & tinted/ misrepresented reg plate drew our attention to this BMW. Vehicle prohibited as side windows only transmitted 16% light & windscreen 56% which is far lower than required! #Recovered

@johnelworthy To be precise, £2,000 fine, £2,000 costs and an £800 surcharge (usually referred to as Victim Surcharge).
Either way it doesn't add up to £5,800, but if you're picking them up on not getting it right!
English
Landlord NOT fined £5,800. He was fined £2,000 and £2,800 costs. Your figures are inaccurate and your understanding of court procedures nil. #Newsquest #Fail #again Who writes this crap on my former website??
