As we approach 2010 and the expiry of the current road safety strategy and casualty
reduction targets, it is appropriate to consider how best to continue working towards
reducing death and injury on the roads. More than a narrow analysis of casualty
statistics outlining who, what, where and how people are being killed and seriously

to an end not an end in itself. Similarly casualties are not abstract events divorced from

interact with it. This report examines trends occurring across society and considers their
impact on future road use and consequent potential implications for casualties.
