• Top road safety measure
• Increased traffic police the answer?
• UK police dropped by 23%
LONDON, England - Road safety organisation GEM Motoring Assist is urging the UK government to reverse the decline in traffic police numbers.
The call follows a survey of GEM members, in which 94% of respondents believed road deaths would continue to rise because they did not trust the government to treat the issue as a priority.
Figures from the UK department of transport, showed that from January to September 2014, 1730 people were killed on UK roads, an increase from 1711 compared to the same period in 2013.
