Ian McIntosh, CEO, RED Driving School, said: \u201cThe Department for Transport has today (1<\/em><\/strong>st<\/em><\/strong><\/sup> November) released its quarterly road casualty statistics, revealing that deaths and serious injuries rose by 9 per cent for pedal cyclists.* This reinforces the view that although we are all aware of the importance of road safety, things need to change if our roads are going to become safer.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn research conducted among 600 driving instructors across the UK, 75 per cent called for the UK driving test to incorporate a module on the awareness of cyclists. The new statistics confirm that something still needs to be done to ensure cyclists are safe on our roads.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInstead of new regulations to protect cyclists, what we really need is greater education in order to change attitudes and perception on road usage and how we share the road.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Government should reintroduce cycling proficiency in schools or at least facilitate partnerships between schools and\u00a0The National Standards for Cycle Training<\/a>, which was established as a unified cycle training programme to promote road safety.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDriving tuition is one area in particular where RED can make a real difference. The inclusion of cycling awareness will teach learner drivers to be aware of cyclists and how to react in a number of situations, making them safer, more responsible drivers.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
