Safe Systems
The Safe System is an approach to road safety which puts people at the centre, with a view that every road death or serious injury is preventable.
The Fatal 5
Investigations into collisions show that many road deaths were preventable and that there are five main contributory factors that cause serious road traffic collisions. These are known as the 'Fatal Five'.
The Fatal Five
Investigations into collisions show that many road deaths were preventable and that there are five main contributory factors that cause serious road traffic collisions. These are known as the 'Fatal Five'.
The Fatal Five are:
- Careless driving
- Drink and drug driving
- Not wearing a seatbelt
- Using a mobile phone
- Speeding
Road users who commit one of the Fatal Five offences are far more likely to be involved in a fatal collision than those who do not.
We can all improve road safety - always drive carefully and at safe speeds, never drive after drinking alcohol or taking drugs, always wear a seatbelt, and keep hands off of your phone.
