ABSTRACT
The quotation below is taken from the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) Roads Policing Strategy, published in January 2005, and sets the scene for this chapter:
‘Virtually everyone in the country uses roads every day, as drivers or as pedestrians. With 30 million vehicles in Great Britain, the roads are busy and hazardous. Their unlawful and anti-social use affects people’s safety and sense of security. Bad road use also contributes to the 3,500 people killed and 35,000 people seriously injured each year on the roads.’
