Ban the use of driver-facing cameras in HGVs and company vehicles
Ban the use of driver-facing cameras in HGVs and company vehicles. We think these cameras invade drivers’ privacy, breach data protection principles, and harm mental health without clear safety benefits. Only road-facing or external cameras should be allowed.
DVLA to implement mandatory eye tests for all drivers & sight reporting
DVLA to implement mandatory eye tests for drivers for all ages. We believe that any vision impairment such as short or long sightedness should be something which drivers are mandated to report, just like other health conditions which may affect their vision.
Require CCTV in all early years settings
Change the law so that all early year settings are required to have CCTV
Require all new drivers to have a black box for the first two years
Introduce a law requiring all new drivers to have black boxes for their first two years. We believe this could help reduce serious accidents, save lives, protect others, and instil safe driving habits from the start, particularly given the disproportionate harm caused by new drivers.
Introduce a Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) and MOT requirement for touring caravans
Touring caravans are currently exempt from MOT testing and pay no Vehicle Excise Duty, despite: Reports of being involved in thousands of road incidents each year Causing an increase in vehicle CO₂ emissions Making use of UK road infrastructure without contributing equivalent revenue.
