Within this approach, to achieve compliance there should be no expectation on the police to provide additional enforcement beyond their routine activity, unless this has been explicitly agreed with the local traffic authority.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 23/01/2019 13:46:45 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

As part of this initiative dedicated teams will be carrying out in-depth research in selected cases to get a better understanding of what is really causing collisions on our roads. These collisions will be analysed in 3 regions over 3 years and will look at collisions covering a range of modes of travel, including motorbikes.
