Scotland: ‘no evidence’ pre-driver interventions are effective
Story from Road Safety GB.
The time has come to step back and consider how pre-driver interventions can have the most impact on improving road safety in Scotland, a new report has concluded.
The report, authored by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL), says there is no evidence to demonstrate that pre-driver interventions in Scotland are currently effective in terms of improving road safety on their own.
Commissioned by Transport Scotland, the review and assessment of pre-driver interventions adds that no one type of intervention works better than another, and suggests a more coordinated approach could be helpful.
Dr Neale Kinnear, one of the report’s authors, said: “We found a high prevalence of pre-driver interventions in Scotland. But there’s currently no robust evidence that any of them are effective at improving road safety on their own.”
Transport Scotland commissioned the report to obtain a better understanding of how these interventions contribute to Scotland’s Road Safety Framework.
