RoadSafe: UK roads need to be safer
Date: 10 July 2008
UK charity RoadSafe has stated that the nation's road network should be made safer, which could benefit motorists providing a courier service.
The body is urging the government to call for improved road safety and has published a report entitled Getting Ahead, which recommends that the UK should have "self-explaining" roads that aim to reduce the likelihood of drivers making errors and "forgiving" roads which provide pedestrian refuges.
RoadSafe director Adrian Walsh said: "Five-star vehicles are increasingly being driven as more fleets are implementing best practice occupational road risk management, now we want five-star roads."
In related news, EuroRAP is in talks with a host of satnav providers about developing a system which alerts drivers when they are approaching a dangerous section of road.
The Times reports that the group would allow the manufacturers use its maps to detail regions which have often been the sites of accidents.
