Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps he is taking to tackle (a) driving through red lights. and (b) other forms of dangerous driving.

The Government believes that any form of anti-social, dangerous or inconsiderate driving behaviour is a serious road safety issue.

Enforcement of road traffic law and how available resources are deployed is the responsibility of individual Chief Officers and Police and Crime Commissioners, taking into account the specific local problems and demands with which they are faced.

The Government will continue to support the police to ensure they have the tools needed to enforce road traffic legislation, including in relation to the offence of driving through red lights and other forms of dangerous driving.
