A majority of UK adults support tougher road safety measures, according to a new survey, as growing concerns over dangerous driving and road casualties fuel calls for stricter enforcement and tougher regulations.
The poll of 1,000 British adults found strong public backing for a range of road safety proposals, including longer learning periods for new drivers, tougher drink-driving measures and additional requirements aimed at improving driver competence. The findings come as ministers pursue the UK's first major road safety strategy in more than a decade, with the government targeting a significant reduction in deaths and serious injuries on Britain's roads.
