Abstract

New targets for road casualty reductions in the UK were set in 2000. These include a 40% reduction in deaths and serious injuries, and a 50% reduction for child road deaths and serious injuries. Research, accident data collection, Euro NCAP/Primary NCAP crashworthiness testing, public awareness, lorry/coach safety, and car secondary safety (including vehicle compatibility, frontal and side impact protection, child restraints, pedestrian protection, motorcycle helmets, and intelligent speed adaptation) are discussed.
