Road deaths and injuries cause terrible pain and distress. In 1997 there were 769 people killed or seriously injured on Warwickshire's roads. By 2007 this had reduced to 397. The Government estimates that every road death we prevent saves about £1.7 million; and every serious injury about £200,000.
We are making progress.
But the lifetime risk of dying in a road crash is still 1 in 200.
So we must do better!
What does the Road Safety Unit do?
- We analyse how crashes have occurred to help prevent them in future
- We use education, engineering and enforcement
- We work in partnership with others; especially the Police.
You can help too!
- Slow down - keep to the limit
- Don't drink and drive
- Wear a seat belt
- Look out for motor bikes - especially at junctions
- Switch off your mobile when you drive
- Set a good example for your children.
