UK Road Safety Charity Warns Cuts Will Cost Lives and Money
Road safety warning
The UK's largest independent road safety charity, the IAM, has warned that the proposed cuts in safety initiative spending will cost lives and money. The IAM reports that each fatal accident costs the UK economy £1.79 million pounds in health care and lost output. On that basis, saving lives both boosts the economy and reduces the number of families experiencing significant personal loss.
IAM Director of Policy and Research Neil Greig said: 'Cutting budgets for road safety is a short-sighted economy. Meeting casualty reduction targets has halved road deaths over the past 20 years, saving the economy around £50 billion'.
The United Kingdom is now number one in the world road safety league, improving from sixth in 2007 and fourth in 2008. The number of people killed or seriously injured on Britain's roads is now below 2,000 per-annum. The IAM, which has over 100,000 members and is best known for its advanced driving courses, believes that achieving further improvements by 2020 would save 2,500 lives and over £4 billion pounds.
John Hogan of www.motoring.co.uk said: "We are backing the IAM road safety charity because road safety in the UK should be a priority."
"The figures speak for themselves both in terms of lives saved, which is invaluable and real pounds saved, which in the long term means a better UK economy."
IAM is the UK’s largest independent road safety charity, dedicated to improving standards and safety in driving, motorcycle riding and cycling. The commercial division of the IAM operates through its occupational driver training company IAM Drive & Survive. The IAM has more than 100,000 members in the UK and Ireland. It is best known for the advanced driving test and the advanced driving, motorcycling and cycling courses.
We’re working hard to create a community where you can find open transparent information from consumers, car dealers and manufacturers, to assist you in your purchasing decision, whether you are choosing to buy new or used, sell your own car or lease a business vehicle.
