3,172 people were killed on the UK's roads each year. That means that every day, nine police officers have to visit nine families and break the news that a loved one has suffered a sudden, violent death. A further 28,673 people are seriously injured in road crashes. That's more than 70 people every day suffering injuries which include brain damage, paralysis, loss of limbs, severe burning or facial disfigurement - injuries that can change lives forever.
KDS are dedicated to reducing these figures.
KDS recently won a Fleet Safety Forum award for excellence for its outstanding commitment to road safety. By re-branding its vehicles it aims to keep road safety at the forefront of the minds of employees and other road users.
Our aim, is to initiate a sea change in attitudes towards road safety and proposing proactive ways of reducing the unacceptable record of death and injury on UK roads.
We will be using this petition to raise this issue with the British and Scottish Parliaments.
Dear Sir/Madam,
We the undersigned would like to highlight the following issues that relate to Road Safety in the UK.
We are focussing on these points.
Point 1: What is the value on a human life? The sentences handed out by the justice system are not hard enough
Point 2: Alcohol should not be served at filling stations
Point 3: Road markings at or near primary/secondary schools should be in red
Point 4: If you have been banned from driving, you should have to re-sit your driving test
Point 5: Total elimination of mobile phones within vehicles i.e. ban on hands free
Point 6: The car industry has to take more of a moral and social responsibility in promoting road safety
Point 7: Rolling road safety adverts displayed in pubs, clubs (after 7pm) and in car showrooms
We would like to thank your for taking the time to read over our concerns and we would like to start to change the carnage that road deaths bring to thousands of families accross the UK
