A series of five programmes in which ANGELA PAIN enquires into the causes of road accidents 4: The Killing Ground
How far are our roads to blame for the numbers of accidents that happen on them? Given the Road Research Laboratory's estimate that in one year the MI saved 1,000 casualties including thirty deaths, should we be devoting much more of our resources to new roads of comparable standard? And can the design of cars themselves make a material difference to the number of accidents they are involved in?
