NRSC 2026: sessions focus on safety on two-wheels

Parents can now access free, evidence‑based resources to support new drivers in passing their test and developing safer driving behaviours.

An established government road safety programme will prevent an estimated 2,700 deaths and serious injuries over 20 years on some of England’s most dangerous A‑roads – delivering £1.25 billion in benefits to society from a £195 million investment, a new report says.

More than 10,000 drivers received penalty points on their licences for driving unroadworthy vehicles last year, new data analysed by the RAC’s mobile servicing and repairs division has found.

The JumpStart campaign has welcomed confirmation that it will contribute to a DfT review into the safety equipment recommended for vehicles, describing it as an important opportunity to improve survival rates from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

New analysis by the RAC has highlighted the scale of excessive speeding on lower-speed roads, with seven-in-10 UK police forces recording drivers travelling at more than twice the speed limit on 30mph roads during the past year.
