We mourn the loss of Queen Elizabeth II - a truly dignified leader. Condolences to her children and grandchildren, and to all who loved her.

Really interesting little blog about our recent Older Drivers Task Force report:

[Road Safety Foundation @SafeRoadDesign]

@Turnditch_Man @thetimes Older drivers are more susceptible to serious injury and death due to their relative frailty, and so our report is all about trying to find ways to support older drivers for longer.

@susanelizh25 @LittleEcoT @EricEatsPickles @TfL @EuroRAP Oh and 2019 it was £33bn. Note that the figures in 2020 are lower due to the pandemic.

[Road Safety Foundation @SafeRoadDesign]

@susanelizh25 @LittleEcoT @EricEatsPickles @TfL @EuroRAP The £36bn is the calculation made by DfT. The cost is to society rather than the economy which is a bit subtle as it contains a 'willingness to pay' element which is quite nuanced. The table to look at is RAS 60003: https://t.co/HXDR6gxl6N

@CTWhite80 @LBC @NickFerrariLBC So much more effective to determine if they are safe to drive or not, than just to give points and leave people on the road who might endanger themselves and others.

@Telegraph If people would like to read the report it is here: https://t.co/zekrsyL8W6 and you will note no reference at all to running red lights.

@Turnditch_Man @thetimes If you would like to read it: https://t.co/zekrsyL8W6 - you might find that it differs a little from the headlines

@C_W_Yapp @thetimes Thank you Christopher for reading the article. Our report is available on our website.

@Paquepaque5 @LBC @NickFerrariLBC A very good point about diabetes- the report also calls for greater understanding of peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes. Suggest reading the report rather than the reports of the report.

[Hadstrong @Hadstrong]

Well, red light running wasn't actually mentioned in the press release or report and despite efforts to explain the report to the journalist, the headline-writer have run way with their own interpretation.
