The number of people killed on UK roads has fallen significantly over the years, based on statistics issued by the UK Government.
In 2015 1732 people were killed on UK roads, whereas back in 2000 the figure stood at 3409.

As members of RoSPA we take road safety very seriously, as do all of the road safety and motoring organisations.
