Clare Adamson: Road Safety Week 2017—That the Parliament recognises that the
week commencing 20 November 2017 is Road Safety Week; notes that this is an annual event to
raise awareness about road safety and was started in 1997 by Brake, a road safety charity that
works to prevent road death or injury, campaigns to make streets and communities safer and
supports the victims of road crashes; acknowledges that the theme for 2017 is Speed Down Save
Lives focussing on the dangers of driving over the speed limit; understands that breaking the
speed limit or travelling too fast for conditions is recorded by police as a contributory factor in 23%
of crash scenes in the UK; notes that the 2017 campaign will also highlight intelligent speed
adaptation devices, which it believes are likely to become more prevalent in the future; commends
Road Safety Week for promoting steps that everyone can take to stop needless road deaths and
injuries year-round; supports the thousands of schools, organisations and communities that are
involved in the event each year; welcomes this year's week, and notes hopes that the event will
inspire communities to take action on road safety through promoting lifesaving messages during
the week and beyond.
