Require stricter evidence thresholds for DVLA to start medical investigations
The DVLA should have stricter evidence thresholds before undertaking medical assessments of an individual's fitness to hold a licence. They should not be allowed to act on the basis of third-party or anonymous reports without a higher standard of evidence which confirms that a report holds validity.
UK government to introduce stricter reviews on motoring licence holders
1. To introduce regular mandatory checks such as a medical check from own GP (not private clinics) and eye test. 2. To introduce mandatory minimum motorway training for motorists.
Introduce mandatory driving retests for drivers over the age of 70
We want the Government to introduce mandatory driving retests for drivers over the age of 70. We think this will make the road safer for everyone: motorcyclists, pedestrians and car users.
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.
Require all new vans without rear windows to be fitted with cameras
Blind spots on vans without rear windows endanger vulnerable road users and drivers. We believe fitting mandatory reversing cameras would prevent accidents, protect lives, and make our streets safer.
