New Consultation On Road Safety Compliance

As previously reported in December, the Department for Transport (DfT) has issued a consultation that seeks views on proposals for a package of measures aimed at improving compliance levels with key road safety laws. The package covers five issues, which are:

• speeding

• drink driving

• seat belt wearing

• driving under the influence of drugs

• careless driving.

On each issue, the consultation examines five different approaches towards securing greater compliance:

• greater awareness

• effective enforcement and penalties

• technology/incentivisation

• the legal framework.

• proposals to improve the suite of remedial training and testing schemes for driving offenders.

Replies required by 27 February 2009.
