New car drivers to support calls for road safety as an election priority?
Posted by Craig Salter
Political parties are being called on to pledge their support for road safety measures ahead of the forthcoming general election.
New car drivers may be in agreement with the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) that road safety should be a priority of the next party to run the country.
The IAM has created its own manifesto laying out measures that could be taken to reduce accidents on the roads and enhance safety.
"Human error is the biggest cause of crashes, so improving driver ability is the best way to deliver real reductions in road deaths and injuries: better driver behaviour must be the key road safety priority for the next ten years," commented IAM chief executive Simon Best.
Among the measures outlined by the IAM in its manifesto is the provision of tax breaks for companies that offer their staff further driver training.
New car drivers will be able to have their say on the political front by summer, with the next general election expected to take place before June 3rd.
