Had a great time chatting with Hattie Hlad on the latest @TrainingPdt Driven by Excellence Podcast! We covered transport policy, road safety research, and how behavioural science should guide interventions. 🎧 Listen here share.transistor.fm/s/a3d834de. Thanks for having me on the show!
What role does behavioural psychology play in road safety? Dr Elizabeth Box shares how understanding human behaviour can help save lives on our roads in the debut of Season Two of Driven By Excellence. #BehaviouralScience #RoadSafety #TransportPolicy
Electric car drivers ‘being plunged into negative equity’ as prices collapse telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/… Sobering chart in article by @mattotele The economics of #EVs have to work at all levels: purchase, use, resale... @iwengraf
Ambulances, bin lorries, street sweepers among vehicles stolen in 2023 thismon.ee/a/13945267 via @ThisIsMoney @robhull83 demonstrates that there is 'literally no type of vehicle that someone won't steal"
UK verges are a national disgrace, including those bordering @NationalHways roads, and many are probably beyond help. Of course, NH doesn't create the mess but we urge them to do more to keep things tidy. @LilianGreenwood @TransportFocus @KeepBritainTidy @GazTheJourno @iwengraf
Litter discarded on our roads looks unsightly but also lures hungry animals to their death, killing 3 million of them a year. We've partnered up with @owenjot69356 who creates environmental art from the litter he collects on his walks. Stay tuned to see the final piece revealed!
Pavement parking suddenly seems to be the least of the problems. Roughly 66% of Britain's 28 million households have (or could have) off-street parking & hence easy #EV charging. Which leaves millions more with a challenge. racfoundation.org/research/mobil… @iwengraf @Tim_Chatterton
#EV technology is moving forward but drivers remain wary. An estimated 1.25m #BEVs on UK's roads at the end of September out of circa. 33m in total. @iwengraf @Tim_Chatterton @GazTheJourno racfoundation.org/data/plug-in-v…
⚡️British motorists benefit from more EV choice than ever with 115 models now available as zero emission 🔋Some EVs on sale with max range of 450 miles, more than three times the average distance drivers travel in a week #drivezero
Tax and insurance costs up 228% in ten years to Sept '24. Big rise 2022-23. racfoundation.org/data/cost-of-m… @iwengraf
For years, @CitizensAdvice has raised the alarm on the rising cost of car insurance and the ethnicity penalty. Brilliant to see @LouHaigh and @TulipSiddiq setting up a Task Force to investigate this market, with us playing an advisory role. lbc.co.uk/news/car-insur…
DVLA's private plate cash cow: Revenues from sales revealed thismon.ee/a/13957327 via @ThisIsMoney @robhull83 explains how @dvla is cashing in on drivers' love of private plates. That said, the plates might be the only bit of a car actually increasing in value. @iwengraf
Does anyone have any info on expected average losses from single phase AC (7kW) and DC (50kW+) BEV charging? How many kWh you buy relative to how many you get in the battery. Ideally UK or similar vehicles/weather. @aeastlake @bennelmes @OZEVgovuk
Decision delayed on Lower Thames Crossing... bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… Meanwhile this is what an average northbound journey in evening rush hour on a Tuesday looks like at Dartford - anything between 35 to 65 mins to do 13 miles @iwengraf
On @bbcsoutheast Politics this morning arguing on behalf of Dartford residents for a positive decision as soon as possible on the Lower Thames Crossing!
Great to have the opportunity to talk about our #GDL proposal on @SkyNews racfoundation.org/research/safet… It's not about taking away any freedoms. It's about preserving freedoms through safer driving in the riskiest few months after young people pass their test @iwengraf
Should teenagers be allowed to drive other young people? @elizabethcbox and @NathanOgunniyi have a difference of opinion... #KayBurley SS
@KayBurley thank you for covering the issue of young driver safety this morning and providing the opportunity to present @racfoundation policy proposals in this area. For those interested in more info, details of the proposal can be found here racfoundation.org/wp-content/upl…
Good to be broadly aligned with others who understand the issues around young driver safety and why #GDL can make a positive difference. Our proposal here: racfoundation.org/research/safet… @elizabethcbox
AA proposes six month driving scheme to reduce young driver crashes and will raise it with ministers. mol.im/a/13928765#v-9… @SharronHuddles2 @ian_m_greenwood @liveseybinks @owe65332 @PACTS
Thank you @NicholasHellen for writing a well balanced article and for including my precious daughter Caitlin to the article + great speaking with you about my work campaigning to save lives #GDL #caitlinscampaign #forgetmenotfamiliesuniting #caitlinsmessage
Thank you @NicholasHellen for reporting our plan & to @ian_m_greenwood and many others for helping shape it, and explaining why it's needed. More discussion to come but it's one firm proposal to hopefully get us closer to #GDL implementation @elizabethcbox racfoundation.org/research/safet…
Great to see #GDL discussed in @thetimes today in advance of @UKROEd and @PoliceChiefs conference this week; which includes #GDL discussions. @purdie409 @NicholasHellen @racfoundation @BBCBreakfast
Young driver crashes are a major road safety concern. Graduated Driver Licensing could cut the risks but #GDL has many forms. After talking to others, we have a proposal we hope will move the debate on from 'why' to 'how' @elizabethcbox @iwengraf @ian_m_greenwood @GDLSarahJones
A graduated driver licensing scheme to support new young drivers New proposal from @racfoundation racfoundation.org/research/safet…

Good pick-up of my @PA exclusive on drivers being handed more than £322m in fines for non-payment of Ulez fees since the scheme expanded. Examples from the Mail, Telegraph and Metro here:
