A new partnership
Steven Norris, Chairman, RoadSafe

Following its extremely successful launch last winter, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the second edition of RoadSafe, the publication that aims to unite current thinking and best practice on road safety issues.

Our organisation is a partnership of leading companies in the motor and transport industries in Britain, the government and road safety professionals, all of whose aim is to promote safer driving and reduce the unacceptable blight of deaths and injuries caused by road accidents.

It is not just good advice that is needed to reduce casualties: products devoted to reducing risk play a huge part, too. Manufacturers of vehicles and traffic control systems alike have come up with a veritable army of devices that not only lessen the chance of injury when an crash occurs, but actually help to avoid the collision in the first place.

In this issue, our special round-up takes a closer look the latest safety features – and there are some surprises. From lights that help drivers see around corners to cars that can predict a collision before it happens, motor manufacturers are making full use of fast-moving technology to improve safety like never before. You will also find details of the recent Euro NCAP results.

Covering all the latest in safety issues, I am sure you will find this an invaluable addition to your bookshelf.
