This episode is a recording of a recent Project EDWARD webinar.

The topic is Road Death what is Justice? Which we hope offers an appropriate opportunity to navigate the complex intersection of law, safety and grief.

In an era where mobility is so important, the tragic reality of road fatalities continues to challenge our society on multiple fronts. This webinar brings together a diverse audience of legal professionals, law enforcement officers and bereaved families, road safety experts, coroners and academics to explore the issues surrounding road deaths and the pursuit of justice.

Over the next 60 minutes, we'll explore the web of legal, emotional and societal factors that come into play in the aftermath of a road fatality. Our distinguished panel of experts will discuss the latest developments in traffic law enforcement, the psychological impact on victims, families, advancements in road safety technology, and the role of forensic investigation in determining blame.

We aim to foster a dialogue that helps to bridge any gaps between those involved. By sharing insights, experiences and examples of good practice, we hope to contribute to the ongoing efforts to reduce road deaths, improve support for affected families, and enhance the efficacy of our justice system.

Your participation is crucial in shaping a future where our roads are safer, and justice is served with compassion and precision.

James Luckhurst interviews Sarah Vaughan from Angelica Solutions. They discuss the role of insurers in road safety, particularly focusing on how driving style and collision frequency are related.

Sarah explains that insurers have a unique position to influence road safety due to their extensive data on crashes. However, she notes that insurers often prioritise profit over reducing collisions. They also talk about the potential benefits of telematics car insurance, which tracks driving behaviour and can encourage safer driving through incentives.

Sarah highlights the challenges of data sharing among insurers and the importance of pooling data for the greater good. They also discuss the increased risk of collisions at night and around airports, emphasising the need for better road safety policies and awareness.
