Working hard to save lives on devon & Cornwall's roads
What is Vision Zero South West?
Vision Zero South West is a partnership involving many organisations in Devon and Cornwall who share one goal – to eliminate death and serious injury from our roads.
Led by a diverse board of experts — including senior police and fire officers, leading clinicians, councillors, and the Police and Crime Commissioner — the board meets quarterly to discuss strategies and projects aimed at reducing serious collisions.
News & Updates
Who Is Most At Risk?
The UK has some of the world’s safest roads, but we believe any death or serious injury is one too many. Through research and analysis, Vision Zero South West has identified the road users who are most at-risk.
Find detailed statistics and insights including collision data, high harm routes and safety camera figures.

Are you a Cornwall resident under the age of 25 and want to become one of the most skilled, safest drivers on the road while saving 50% of the cost? Are you a parent whose son or daughter is relatively new to driving and would most benefit from additional training?
Cornwall Advanced Drivers are fully committed to increasing road safety so are subsidising 20 drivers in Cornwall under the age of 25 to take the IAM RoadSmart Advanced Driving Course. This is the age group that regularly features as the highest in terms of road casualties and would most benefit from further training to teach responsible, safer driving whilst still getting the most out of the driving experience and possibly reducing their insurance premium.
The project works as follows: using the link below, sign up for the program at the current advertised fee of £204 for the Advanced Driver Course, then receive a 50% refund of £102 once you have passed the Advanced Test.

The cost includes a course manual, all training, the test itself and a year’s membership of the IAM as well as Cornwall Advanced Drivers (CAD). The training is generally around six separate 60-90 minute sessions in your own car with one of our qualified Observers and can be flexibly fitted around your schedule. Once you have completed the course and passed the Advanced Driving Test, we will refund £102 back to you. The scheme would also make an ideal Christmas gift for parents or grandparents.
We all pick up bad driving habits, so the Advanced Driving course is an excellent way to iron these out and make us better, safer drivers, particularly in our county, that has some very challenging roads and conditions at times.

We’ve had another couple of weeks of chilly, wet weather, with just a few brief glimpses of blue skies to brighten up the grey roads.
If you are driving in these wet conditions, please remember to give yourself extra room to stop and take your time on your journey.
