Hello and welcome to episode three of the Project EDWARD 2023 Podcast. My role in the Safe System. My name is James Luckhurst and today I'm in Liverpool with Dr. Adam Snow from Liverpool, John Moores University. Adam is going to be reflecting on the penalty points system for drivers, the totting up rules and whether anything has changed in terms of reported abuse of the exceptional hardship plea opportunity.

We'll also be considering the latest thinking on distractions in the company of Dr. George Yanis, who's a professor in traffic and safety engineering and director of the Department of Transportation Planning and Engineering at the School of Civil Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens.
