The post A look back… and forward – 24 September 2021 appeared first on Project EDWARD.

In this episode, recorded at the Emergency Services Show, James Luckhurst watches the countdown clock edges towards zero and the 2021 Week of Action. He meets Anne-Marie Penney from National Highways to talk about how driving at work policies need to cascade down through every organisation’s supply chain. He hears from British Horse Society Safety lead Alan Hiscox with his reaction to the forthcoming Highway Code changes. Ian Greenman from the United Kingdom Rescue Organisation shares a few secrets ahead of the Rescue Challenge in Newcastle on Friday 17th September. James also considers mindfulness, mental health and learner drivers – an odd combination perhaps? Well, not according to Terry Cook, a driving instructor from Leeds.

In this latest episode, James Luckhurst is joined by Jo Shiner, Chief Constable of Sussex and the recently-appointed roads policing lead for the National Police Chiefs’ Council, as well as by Ruth Purdie OBE – chief executive of UKROEd, the organisation responsible for the management of the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme.

We’ll be considering opportunities to kick start the sort of reductions in road death and serious injury that have been missing – not just in this country but across most of Europe – for more than a decade now. Where do these opportunities lie? Also, what’s being done to make roads policing more visible – and to remind drivers that compliance with the law is not optional.

We also meet Chris Spinks from Westcotec and Geoff Collins from Jenoptik. Both are supporters of Project EDWARD and both work in the business of keeping people safe on the roads. We’ll be looking to dispel a few myths about speeding and asking both to identify effective measures for ensuring that drivers use speeds that are both legal and safe.
