As Road Safety Minister I am proud that we have one of the best road safety records in the world. But every life lost on the roads is one too many.

Dr Stephen Ladyman MP on November 9 webchat

On Thursday 9th November I was pleased to take part in DfT’s first webchat on road safety.

We had a lively and interesting debate and discussed a range of road safety topics including young drivers and driving for work. Members asked questions about road safety education and training, the Road Safety Act and motorcycle safety amongst other topics.

An archive of the webchat is available in the webchats section of the site.

This is your chance to raise issues that directly concern you and which could make a significant contribution to reducing death and injury on our roads.”
