The motion
That this House notes that five people are killed and 62 seriously injured on UK roads every day; further notes that the only acceptable number of deaths and serious injuries on UK roads is zero; congratulates Brake, the road safety charity, together with sponsors AIG and Specsavers, on coordinating Road Safety Week, 23 to 29 November 2015, as a focus of efforts to reduce casualties; notes that thousands of community groups, schools, emergency services and companies will be holding events as part of the Week to raise awareness about road safety; and notes that the campaign this year calls on us all to drive less, and live more, and encourages people to walk and cycle and use public transport as a way of reducing vehicle emissions and increasing physical activity.
