REACTION: IAM RoadSmart welcomes Northern Ireland's road safety strategy

Responding to the Northern Ireland Government's new road safety strategy, IAM RoadSmart Director of Policy and Standards Nicholas Lyes said: “The Northern Ireland Government’s ambitious targets on casualty reduction is a positive step. We particularly welcome the focus on changing road user behaviour with an emphasis on reducing drink and drug driving, illegal phone use at the wheel and reducing motorcycle fatalities. Education and training plays a vital role in changing habits and increasing hazard perception and IAM RoadSmart stands ready to play our part in helping Stormont meet its targets.”
