🚛 New Report: The Hidden Diabetes Crisis in UK Road Transport
Thousands of commercial drivers may be unknowingly living with type 2 diabetes — posing risks not only to their health but to road safety nationwide.
PACTS is pleased to support the launch of “Hiding in Plain Sight”, a new report by the Diabetes Safety Organisation and Driving for Better Business, calling for urgent action to tackle diabetes risks in commercial driving.
The report outlines practical steps for making UK transport a “diabetes safe” sector — including routine risk assessments, employer education, and cross-government support.

🚦 New Report from PACTS: Bridging the Gaps in Road Fatality Investigations 🚦
Every day, road fatalities occur across the UK, yet the current approach to investigating these tragedies is fragmented and inconsistent. Unlike air, rail, and maritime transport, road deaths lack a dedicated investigation branch—leaving critical lessons unlearned and preventable tragedies unaddressed.
Our latest report highlights the systemic issues in how the UK handles road fatalities and puts forward actionable recommendations to close these gaps. Key proposals include:
Establishing a dedicated road safety investigation branch.
Providing coroners with Safe System training to improve Prevention of Future Deaths (PFD) reports.
Strengthening stakeholder collaboration to take meaningful, proactive safety actions.
By addressing these shortcomings, the UK can make significant progress toward achieving Vision Zero—a future with no deaths or serious injuries on our roads.

@LouHaigh welcome as new SoS for Transport. When Labour were last in power their leadership had the effect of halving the number of road deaths per year. 4 key actions - simple to enact - get the backing of 100 organisations. Look forward to working it.

Good luck tomorrow @kimleadbeater in all you have planned. There are many people, like me, who are watching your colleagues in the #HouseofCommons to see how they respond. I know of 50 people in our campaign group who have written to their MPs about long overdue licensing changes. Will MPs take us a step closer to action which can save many lives? Thank you! #GDL

I know you know @kimleadbeater - there are more than 80 families in Forget-me-not Families Uniting campaigning for a British #GDL - all bereaved and forever changed. It is in their names you do this and it is with their blessing.

Very proud to be presenting my 10 Minute Rule Bill on Graduated Driving Licenses to Parliament tomorrow. Inspired by @ian_m_greenwood & his steadfast campaigning following his own tragic loss. Far too many families have lost loved ones on our roads, incl. in #BatleyAndSpen #GDL
Sometimes a brave politician comes along, connects with the enormity of avoidable grief (sadly, largely because of her own life story), listens and then acts. Here is @kimleadbeater doing just that.
4,935 people were killed or seriously injured in crashes involving young drivers and yet @RishiSunak @Mark_J_Harper @GuyOpperman refuse to take action.
The evidence gathered over decades is so clear and yet #GDL is ignored or ridiculed.
But we still have brave politicians willing to make a stand. Thank you @kimleadbeater
Please support her on 7 May in her 10 minute bill.
