Conservative plans may complement a good risk management strategy
Fleet operators keen to ensure their risk management strategies are as successful as possible may agree Conservative plans could help improve road safety in the UK.
The Association of British Drivers welcomed ideas put forward by party representative Teresa Villiers, suggesting the number of speed cameras and traffic lights across Britain should be reduced.
Spokesman Nigel Humphies stated: "We are delighted that the Conservatives are breaking ranks with contemporary, negative thinking on safety and congestion."
He added: "For too long, badly thought-out policies have obstructed our roads and penalised safe driving."
The group described speed cameras as "a scourge" and said instead of helping to protect drivers they actually increase the risks motorists face.
It argued the traffic control measures distort the perception of the connection between the rate at which someone travels and their safety.
Meanwhile, ABD recently criticised the growing use of height barriers in car parks, claiming the features prevent larger-than-average vehicles stopping in places where they have a legitimate right to do so.
