Today on Father’s Day, a Dad in Coventry is mourning the loss of his 12-year old son, Keaton Slater, killed by a hit and run driver.
But road violence is something society doesn’t seem to want to tackle, despite road crashes taking more lives than murder and terrorism combined.
I’ve seen two Plan For Drivers published so far ahead of the election, but no plans to stop 30,000 people being killed or seriously injured each year in road crashes in the UK.
Why not?

Dutch people cycle on average at least 4x per week. Is that considered enough?
Here's the new advert from the government, encouraging people to leave their car and use their bicycles for short trips.
