The newly launched KDS road safety vehicles, promoting Road Safety throughout Scotland.

KDS Road Safety "STOP THE DEATHS ON UK ROADS"

Target:
10000

3,172 people were killed on the UK's roads each year.  That means that every day, nine police officers have to visit nine families and break the news that a loved one has suffered a sudden, violent death.  A further 28,673 people are seriously injured in road crashes. That's more than 70 people every day suffering injuries which include brain damage, paralysis, loss of limbs, severe burning or facial disfigurement - injuries that can change lives forever.

KDS are dedicated to reducing these figures. 

KDS recently won a Fleet Safety Forum award for excellence for its outstanding commitment to road safety. By re-branding its vehicles it aims to keep road safety at the forefront of the minds of employees and other road users.

Our aim,  is to initiate a sea change in attitudes towards road safety and proposing proactive ways of reducing the unacceptable record of death and injury on UK roads.

We will be using this petition to raise this issue with the British and Scottish Parliaments.

Dear Sir/Madam,

We the undersigned would like to highlight the following issues that relate to Road Safety in the UK.

We are focussing on these points.


Point 1: What is the value on a human life? The sentences handed out by the justice system are not hard enough


Point 2: Alcohol should not be served at filling stations


Point 3: Road markings at or near primary/secondary schools should be in red


Point 4: If you have been banned from driving, you should have to re-sit your driving test


Point 5: Total elimination of mobile phones within vehicles i.e. ban on hands free


Point 6: The car industry has to take more of a moral and social responsibility in promoting road safety


Point 7: Rolling road safety adverts displayed in pubs, clubs (after 7pm) and in car showrooms


We would like to thank your for taking the time to read over our concerns and we would like to start to change the carnage that road deaths bring to thousands of families accross the UK

Fortunately I don't have a story about someone I know that has suffered through this. That is why I am signing, I don't want anyone to have to go through this horror, so if but adding my support can help save lives then here i am.

As a student of kds academy number 5, i took part in a road safety presentation which opened my eyes to the bad decisions that road users can make. The result of the examples shown were quite shocking. There for i would encourage others to sign this petition. (enjoying the course btw)

Having experienced the loss of my Uncle in a road accident and only recently my Auntie was also involved in a road accident and fortunately came out of it with only minor injuries, I feel that this is a very worthwhile cause.
