@CTVToronto that doesn't look very pedestrian friendly

[Tristan Honeywill @CarSafetyRules]

@LeaseCar_UK Skycycle and separating cycles and cars makes sense sometimes but solutions need to be realistic

[Tristan Honeywill @CarSafetyRules]

@LeaseCar_UK Changes to cycling & car infrastructure and attitudes? Easier for technology to alert drivers & prevent crashes

[Tristan Honeywill @CarSafetyRules]

New steering wheel tech makes people feel safer in #autonomous #cars and cuts #distracted driving http://t.co/etiVZteBOk

[Tristan Honeywill @CarSafetyRules]

@UNRSC: "5% cut in average speed can result in 30% reduction in fatal crashes." What's the source, pls? Is it really that simple?

[Tristan Honeywill @CarSafetyRules]

Interview with an engineer opened with him saying #cars are changing from mechanical devices into something like robots. Cool!

N. Yorks Councillor who claimed cyclists were “a law unto themselves” banned for drink driving http://t.co/SJDVx8ozgC

[Ideas4ADIs @Ideas4ADIs]

Banned nine times...so why was this driver given cab licence days before killing student? http://t.co/WMQ5VamsOs

[Tristan Honeywill @CarSafetyRules]

@LeaseCar_UK Rear seats only occupied 11% of the time, so have been less of a priority for road safety policy. That's changing

[Tristan Honeywill @CarSafetyRules]

@LeaseCar_UK Outer airbags can help in side impacts where there isn't much survival space but nobody really investing in the R&D #carsafety

[Tristan Honeywill @CarSafetyRules]

@LeaseCar_UK ...I like the idea of side airbags on the outside of cars but not many companies are talking about it

[Tristan Honeywill @CarSafetyRules]

@LeaseCar_UK Airbag tech so far focused on front seats. Next step: adaptive airbags & seatbelts for old and young people on the back seats
