Abstract

The PACTS (Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety) report 'Road Traffic Law and Enforcement - A driving force for casualty reduction' concluded that failures by the police, Crown Prosecution Service and magistrates to take road traffic enforcement seriously was sending a faulty signal to drivers about the risks and seriousness of road traffic offending. The report identified three measures for reducing casualties: knowledge and education; detection and processing; and sanctions and penalties. The role of the lawyer in sanctions and penalties is reviewed with reference to the 1991 Road Traffic Act, the 1993 Criminal Justice Act, careless driving and dangerous driving. For the covering abstract see ITRD E123493.
