Written Question
Roads: Safety
Thursday 16th May 2024

Asked by: Jeremy Quin (Conservative - Horsham)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to improve road safety.

Answered by Guy Opperman

Although by global standards, roads in the UK are very safe, every road death and injury is a tragedy for the families involved and we are working on a number of measures to keep our roads and road users safe. This Government has updated The Highway Code to improve road safety for people walking, cycling and riding horses, tightened up the law to target the most dangerous drivers and closed the loophole in the offence of driving while using a mobile.
