Simon Jones: Road to nowhere

Ensuring drivers’ vision levels are up to standard should be a year-round issue, but Road Safety Week (RSW) presents an opportune time for the sector to go hell for leather in raising awareness to a wider audience. But I sometimes wonder how much the issue resonates with the public.

I had a look at some of the initiatives police forces were undertaking for RSW and came across Essex Police’s Vision Zero enforcement day in Colchester. ‘This is more like it. A zero tolerance to poor vision behind the wheel,’ I thought to myself, but I left a little disappointed, because the focus was solely on speeding.
