Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to help reduce hit-and-run incidents where drivers cannot be identified.

Failing to stop and report an incident is unacceptable, particularly in cases where an individual has been seriously or fatally injured.

On 7 January 2026 we published our new Road Safety Strategy, setting out our vision for a safer future on our roads for all. As part of this, we are reviewing the motoring offences and have published a consultation. The consultation includes questions about failure to stop and report incidents and seeks views on possible changes to the law.
