I'll have to have a listen, then!

That said, when looking at driver 'responsibility':

"Almost a third (31%) of the people who died in vehicles in Great Britain in 2018 were not wearing a seat belt, according to a report by PACTS, in association with Direct Line Group, published 13th of March 2020.
Seat Belts: Time for Action uses data obtained from specialist Police Forensic Collision Investigators (PFCIs) by using the Freedom of Information Act. The analysis suggests that the number of fatalities could be higher than official figures (26% in 2018), published by the Department for Transport. The report is based is based on over 1,000 records obtained from PFCIs. It suggests that there were 261 deaths where a seat belt was legally required but not worn in 2018 in Great Britain (and 273 in the UK). The report also shows that seat belt status was known in 85% of fatalities where PFCI data was available compared to around 50% in Stats19 reports."

And:

"Provisional estimates for 2019 show that between 240 and 320 people were killed in accidents in Great Britain where at least one driver was over the drink-drive limit, with a central estimate of 280 deaths. The provisional estimate of fatalities for 2019 is the highest since 2009."

I noted a few quotes.

We have to accommodate that people will make mistakes.

Share responsibility across the system (manufacturers, road designers, policy makers, etc).

Our approach is not to absolve road users from responsibility.

Behaviour is a critical part ... many interventions, from training to education, marketing to police enforcement.

Road safety is everyone's responsibility. If you're a responsible road user then the authorities will want to protect you.

Anyone who hasn't listened to it can try and guess which was the IAM view

What, no-one? Easy, surely?
