Road safety campaign hailed but is 'overdue'
Coventry Telegraph
|January 14, 2026
A “LONG overdue” national strategy to stop people being killed or seriously injured on roads has been hailed by West Midlands leaders.
The National Road Safety Strategy, launched by the Department for Transport on Wednesday, sets out to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on UK roads by 65 per cent by 2035.
Among the plans included in the strategy are introducing lower alcohol limits and the suspension of licences for those accused of drink and drug offences.
Others include penalty points for not wearing seat belts, compulsory eye tests for older drivers and a crackdown on ‘ghost plates.
