The British Road Safety statement sets out the Department for Transport’s vision, values and priorities in relation to British road safety. This has led to a significant programme of activity including, providing £175 million to improve England’s 50 most dangerous roads, increasing penalties for drivers using hand held mobile phones, consulting on allowing learner drivers on motorways and improving motorcycle training. The statement can be viewed on gov.uk.
