Olly Tayler spent 30 years working in Devon and Cornwall police, half of which were focussed on road policing. Olly has since put his time into The Honest Truth; an app designed to help driving instructors provide road safety interventions with their students.

In this edition, we need to talk about hands-free, as new research emphasises the dangers of hands-free phone use while driving.
Now, hands-free use by drivers is not against the law, but an extensive body of research has shown it's no safer than hand-held phone use and a project called ‘Are you a focused driver?’ has been encouraging police officers to avoid recommending hands-free to drivers as an alternative to hand-held.
It may make a driver legal, but it does nothing to reduce the distraction risk. Here to tell us more is the co-author of the project; Professor of applied cognitive psychology at the Open University, Gemma Briggs.

Welcome to the Project EDWARD podcast – My role in the safe system – with James Luckhurst.
The March 2024 episode introduces us to a surgeon, who explains how greater sharing of collision data - and medical information about crash victims - could lead to a better understanding of the causes and the costs – both human and financial – of death and injury on the country’s roads – and improve safety in the process.
Crash and casualty data is routinely collected by the police who attend incidents or are made aware of them. It is then published by the Department for Transport through a system called STATS19.
However, to get a more rounded picture of collisions and harm on the road network this should be better linked to other sources of data, particularly injury data collected in the national medical dataset, Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), and that recorded by the ambulance service and other parties involved in the aftermath of road crashes.
That is one conclusion of a report entitled – Data Linkage in Road Safety – funded by the RAC Foundation and the FIA Road Safety Grant Programme and I’m pleased to welcome its author to tell us more…
A very warm welcome to the latest edition of the podcast series from Project EDWARD - my role in the Safe System - that will be running through 2024. This time we welcome a great friend of Project EDWARD, Terry Cook: a driving instructor who runs the Instructor Podcast and the Five Minute Theory Test.
