Road traffic law enforcement inquiry

Inquiry

The Transport Committee publishes its report on road traffic law enforcement. The Committee says that the falling number of recorded crimes on our roads does not represent a reduction in offences being committed.

Government Response


The Transport Committee is conducting an inquiry into road traffic law enforcement. The objective of this inquiry is to scrutinise how effectively the Government's policies to improve road safety – by tackling dangerous or careless driving – are being enforced.
