Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress the Road Collision Investigation Project has made; and what the timetable is for that project to report and make recommendations to Government.

The Road Collision Investigation Project is being run by The RAC Foundation. Good progress has been made in a number of areas.

The first in a series of reports from the project describes how accident causation models have changed over time and details the rationale for taking a systems approach to collision investigation. The report is available online at:
