36 SAFER DRIVERS Rule 215 Highway Code Be particularly careful of horse riders and horse drawn carriages when overtaking. Always pass wide and slowly. Horse riders are often children, so take extra care. Remember riders may ride in double file when escorting a young or inexperienced horse or rider. Look out for riders signals and heed a request to slow down or stop. Take great care and treat all horses as a potential hazard.

37 SAFER DRIVERS Rule 162 Highway Code Before overtaking you should make sure the road is sufficiently clear ahead there is a suitable gap in front of the road user you plan to overtake. Rule 163 Highway Code Give motorcyclists, cyclists and horse riders at least as much room as you would when overtaking a car

46 Ideas Co-Production What works on the ground? Feedback What have we learned from collective experience? How do we face coming challenges together?

47 How We Live, Work and Shop Which Wider Societal Issues Are At Play?

48 Role of Technology Developments in this are moving at breakneck speed. What s here and just around the corner: Autonomous vehicles Intelligent speed adaptation Alcohol or drug ignition locks What role does industry play and how does government and the public sector influence that space? How do we best harness the potential?

49 State-of-the-Art Doesn t Mean Risk-Free What are the dangers and pitfalls associated with technological advances and how can we mitigate? What are the ramifications if things go wrong?

50 Which Issues Remain Relevant What are the New Elements? Priority areas from mid-term review of 2020 Framework: speed, motorcyclists; pre-drivers, drivers aged and older drivers; pedestrians and cyclists. Transport Scotland beginning work on the foundations, consisting of: Research to review the effectiveness of the existing framework A review of recent and emerging road safety frameworks from other nations to look at emerging trends and good practice to be learned from Future target setting: Length of any future framework or strategy what s feasible: 2025, 2030, 2035?

51 Contextual Backdrop Behaviour Change what further can be done and how should messages be refined? Is speeding a societal norm? What can be learned from shifts on issues such as smoking and healthy eating? Legislation how radical will governments want to be? Little indication UK Government sees fit to devolve more than Scotland Act Most laws on road traffic offences, licensing and other regulation around road safety reserved. What does Brexit mean for road safety in Scotland and the UK? Will EuroNCAP, EuroRAP and other EU standards be diminished? Continued Ministerial priority. National Indicator: Deaths on Scotland's Roads. How do we as road safety partners best utilise our skills, expertise and resources to keep people safe on Scotland s roads.
