Road safety rules have evolved over the years to better protect people when travelling. This video highlights key improvements, including drink drive laws, restrictions on mobile phone use, the wearing of seatbelts and the requirement for using appropriate child car seats.
These changes have played an important role in reducing harm and preventing collisions. Road users following these rules and the Highway Code, including the hierarchy of road users are helping to reduce collisions and protect others every time they travel.
