Driver training increasingly vital as cars become more autonomous

Road crashes still cost the UK economy £16bn (US$25bn) every year, and for this reason alone no government can afford to be complacent about road safety. Continuing to reduce the number of people killed and injured on the roads will only become a greater challenge in the future.

In an effort to change these statistics, UK road safety charity The IAM (Institute of Advanced Motorists) has published its road safety manifesto for the upcoming general election, calling for urgent support from all political parties to promote driver and rider improvement on UK roads.
