Mobile phones Mobile Phones and Driving: Frequently Asked Questions Printable PDF version (86 Kb) Download help In a new regulation that came into force on 1 December 2003, it is a specific offence to use a hand-held phone, or similar device, when driving. The penalty is a £30 fixed penalty or up to £1,000 on conviction in court (£2,500 for drivers of goods vehicles, buses or coaches). Drivers still risk prosecution (for failure to have proper control) if they use hands-free phones when driving. Q1. What does the regulation say about hand-held phones? The use of a hand-held phone or similar hand-held device while driving is now prohibited. A hand-held device is something that "is or must be held at some point during the course of making or receiving a call or performing any other interactive communication function". A device is "similar" to a mobile phone if it performs an interactive communication function by transmitting and receiving data. Examples of interactive communication functions are sending and receiving spoken or written messages, sending or receiving still or moving images and providing access to the internet.

Travel Volvo Asks Drunk Driving Waiver to Test Safety Technology July 21, 2005 In Sweden, just one beer or glass of wine can land a driver in jail for up to six months. So when Volvo asked the Swedish government to waive the country's strict drunken driving laws to allow its test drivers to imbibe on the job, people noticed. Volvo is in the midst of testing a new technology designed to allow a car to take control of steering when a driver's reaction time is slowed because of intoxication or fatigue. The new safety system is still at the development stage and the company will not provide additional details other than to say it’s all about preventing accidents. If the request is granted, it would be the first exception to Sweden's drunk driving laws, which are among the world's toughest, the Swedish national broadcaster SVT reported. The company promises to only allow its drunk drivers to take the wheel on a Volvo test track near the west coast city of Gothenburg if the Swedish government grants permission. The special track is also the location of a Ford Motor Co. safety development facility. Ford owns Volvo.

Driving From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Driving is the controlled operation of a vehicle , which is usually a motor vehicle such as a truck bus motorcycle , or car . For bicycles and mounted animals and — at least in the U.K. , the U.S. and Canada — motorcycles, the corresponding activity is called riding Driving includes knowing how to operate the mechanisms which control the speed and direction (which in technical terminology are both components of the velocity ), and the braking of the vehicle, and especially includes knowing how to do both safely.

POLICING IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE: Comparing Firsthand Knowledge with Experience from the West, THE ROLE OF TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE SLOVENE ROAD SAFETY SYSTEM Ljubo Zajc Slovenian socio-political upheavals in 1991 caused changes in the characteristics of the road safety elements. The construction of a highway system in Slovenia has proved to be a major political targets. Concerning the pressure of the market economy, liberalisation of prices and international interest in connecting the eastern and western parts of Slovenia, accelerated building of the highway system seems a logical solution. Traffic safety is one of the proxy arguments for promoting road construction. The following short and general scale of effective accident reducing measures reflect the level of their political importance: road related measures (construction of highways) are at the top of the scale, followed by measures related to police traffic control, with information and education being at the bottom of the scale. The traffic safety situation and existence of different entropy reasons in the national traffic safety system put a special importance on traffic policing. Why? There are various answers to this question. Police traffic control and enforcement are measures for quick and relatively inexpensive intervention. Effectiveness of police surveillance measures without any local or national support (information, education, ......) are limited and short term. Traffic surveillance in democratic societies need more support and understanding from the public. The author believes that the police should build balance between police enforcement and prevention actions. How fast these goals will be reached does not strictly depend on police organisation but also on extensive public support and political readiness to start a joint effort in the preparation of the national traffic safety programme.

ROAD SAFETY RESEARCH Drink Driving Rehabilitation: The Present Context Executive Summary Introduction Alcohol abuse and alcohol-related problems remain a major public health issue. Drink driving is one alcohol-related problem that has gained much attention over recent years. The magnitude of the drink driving problem is often shown using crash data. Approximately one-third of all fatal road crashes, where the driver had been tested for alcohol, were associated with blood alcohol concentrations above the legal limit. Road trauma, unlicensed driving and recidivist offending place additional financial and legal burdens on communities and reinforce the need to establish effective drink driving interventions. Defining the Drink Driver Drink driving has consistently been shown to be associated with a range of risk factors. Male, young age, low socio-economic background Problems with alcohol consumption and high levels of alcohol use Poor knowledge and deviant attitudes toward drink driving Extensive histories of criminal and traffic convictions Drink Driving and the Social Context The essential social determinant of drink driving is alcohol consumption. Drinking behaviours are often learned through family influences and therefore become ingrained lifestyle behaviours.

ROAD SAFETY RESEARCH The Road Safety Implications of Unlicensed Driving: A Survey of Unlicensed Drivers Executive Summary Rationale for study Unlicensed driving is a serious problem in many countries, despite ongoing improvements in traffic law enforcement practices and technology. The term "unlicensed driver" is generally used to refer to people who drive or ride a motor vehicle without a valid driver's licence, including those who: have let their licence expire, have been disqualified or suspended from driving, hold an inappropriate licence for the class of vehicle they drive, drive outside the restrictions of a special licence, have never held a licence. Method The survey involved a face-to-face interview that took approximately 25 minutes to complete. The offenders were offered $25 to participate in the study to compensate them for the time involved and to increase the likely response rate. In total, 309 offenders agreed to participate in the study from 495 eligible offenders approached, representing a response rate of 62.4%. All offender categories were represented in the sample, including disqualified and suspended drivers, expired licence holders, drivers without a current or appropriate licence, and those who had never been licensed. Key findings The findings of the study both confirm and question common assumptions relating to unlicensed driving. The results confirm that unlicensed drivers should not be viewed as a homogenous group. Significant differences were found between the offender types in terms of their socio-demographic characteristics (age, education level, prior criminal convictions), driving history (prior convictions for unlicensed driving and other traffic offences), whether they were aware of being unlicensed, the degree to which they limited their driving while unlicensed, and their drink driving behaviour. The differences among offenders suggest that it is unlikely that one approach will adequately address the problem.

NH Highway Safety Agency Publication New Hampshire Bicycle Laws and Safety Guidelines sponsored by New Hampshire Highway Safety Agency Prevent Bicycle Accidents A Message for Parents A bicycle is not a toy. It's a vehicle! Males are five times more likely to be killed as bicyclists than females. More than half of all bicyclist deaths occur to school age youth (ages 5-17). Most bicyclist deaths result from bicycle-motor vehicle collisions. But injuries can happen anywhere - in parks, bike paths, and driveways and often do not involve motor vehicles. Head injuries are the most serious injury type and are the most common cause of deaths among bicyclists. The most severe injuries are those to the brain that cause permanent damage. Studies have proven that bicycle helmet use can significantly reduce head injuries. How can you help stop these tragedies? Buy your child an approved bike helmet. Purchase one that has a sticker inside certifying the helmet meets standards of the Snell Memorial Foundation and/or the American National Standards Institute (ANSIZ90.4). Let your child help pick out the helmet because it must be worn every time he/she rides. If you're a rider, buy one for yourself, too, and set a good example by wearing it. Also encourage your child's friends to wear helmets.

@import url(../../styles.css); Resrouces Driving Drug Impaired Driving What does impairment mean? The effects of impairment vary from person to person. In general, impairment can be defined as changes in a person's ability to perform routine daily tasks at the normal level of functioning. Symptoms may include drowsiness or excitability, altered depth perception, or slowed or increased reaction time. Impairment affects your ability to drive, among other things, but these changes can often be difficult to identify. In fact, you could be drug impaired and not even know it. What causes impairment? You probably know that driving while impaired is a leading cause of car accidents, but what you may not know is that alcohol and illegal drugs are not the only culprits. Impairment can also be caused by many common prescription and over-the-counter medications. These medications, like some antihistamines, used to treat allergies, and anti-anxiety medications for example, may affect driving skills by inducing drowsiness or excitability or by altering reaction times. Other impairing medications include some cold and cough medications, sleeping pills and painkillers. How can I tell if I am impaired by a medicine or other drug?
