Looking forward to seeing details of this much needed renewal of UK’s road safety strategy. A critical test will be full implementation of GSR package of vehicle safety regulations including AEB, ISA etc. Without this UK will stay below best practice in global vehicle standards.
🚨 NEW: The Government is drawing up the “biggest overhaul” in road safety laws for decades. - Reducing the drink driving limit from 0.35 micrograms to 0.22.- Mandatory eye tests for over-70s every 3 years, with driving bans for failure.- Potential medical tests for conditions.

Interesting discussion @PAVEUK_ event @RoyalAutomobile last night. @KanaInagaki shared insights on fair, objective auto reporting @FT together with Cat Dow @BBC_TopGear & host @siddkhastgir. In my view AV growth requires robust independent safety rating: to gain trust - verify!

In 1917 British Government’s Balfour Declaration pledged support for Jewish homeland without prejudice to “civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine”. Time long overdue for Britain to honour that condition & now recognise Palestinian statehood.

Lovely ceremony to dedicate a bench in honour of our late son Alex at Noakes Meadow play area in Beaver ward Ashford where he served as a Councillor. He would be so proud to welcome Ashford Labour MP Sojan Joseph MP, Mayor Lyn Suddards, wife Elizabeth Ward, with family & friends.
