MOTORING groups have hailed government plans to overhaul road safety laws as “much overdue” and “a step in the right direction”.

Ministers are considering cutting the drink-drive limit in England and Wales and introducing mandatory eye tests for older drivers, according to The Times.
The proposals, set to be published as part of a road safety strategy in the autumn, also include tougher penalties for uninsured driving and failing to wear a seatbelt.
On Britain’s roads last year, 1,633 people were killed and almost 28,000 seriously injured in traffic incidents, and numbers have remained relatively constant following a large fall between 2000 and 2010.
Edmund King, AA president, said: “The time has come for a bold and proactive approach to road safety. This strategy is much overdue as road deaths have plateaued over the last decade.
