Thanks to @RoadSafetyTruUK and @PCCCambs who funded our work with @ACTcharity and @lborouniversity comparing hospital (TARN) and Police (STATS19) data and exploring culpability in severe collisions

@fenlandgrimpeur @CambsRoadSafety @PCCCambs @fenlandgrimpeur I can answer your question and apologies for the mix up in replies. The correction factors have so far been applied to the whole dataset but not individual groups locally. I’m looking into it and will follow up

[Matt Staton @StatonMatt]

With strong winds expected to last all day 💨, please make a note of who to call if you find fallen trees or debris blocking the roads 🌳🚙🚗

P.S, it’s not ghostbusters 👻

[Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service @cambsfrs]

Will you be driving the kids to #school on Monday? Make sure you carry out a few simple safety checks, especially if you've not driven your vehicle for a while 🚗

Here's how to check your tyres 👇🏻👇🏼👇🏿

@CambsCops explain what could happen if you fail to maintain your tyres 🚓

[Dr Neale Kinnear @NealeKinnear]

While @UNRSC, @HighwaysEngland, @transcotland and @TfL target #VisionZero, @CommonsTrans and @transportgovuk shun scientific evidence and hide behind the views of 14 teenagers to avoid changes that would save lives from young driver collisions @NewsfromTRL https://t.co/CiC5vDpOZv

[Matt Staton @StatonMatt]

Reversing car dependency isn't just key for environmental improvements but also for safety too @highways_news @ITF_Forum

Just hope we don't see a drive back to car-dominated cities as lockdown eases - the pandemic must have some silver linings!
