Emergency service vehicles are on our roads every day, making timely responses to all sorts of urgent incidents. Whether it’s getting to the scene of a crime in progress, dealing with an illness or injury, attending a building on fire or any other type of emergency – and there are so many – the ability to make a successful ‘blue light run’ can be literally a matter of life and death. Neil Barrett speaks to Roger Gardner, Manager of Lancashire Police Driving School; Kevin Day, Driver Training Manager at West Midlands Fire Service and Nick Lambert, Head of Driving Education at South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS). Project EDWARD (Every Day Without A Road Death) is an annual UK-wide road safety campaign backed by government, the emergency services, highways agencies, road safety organisations and British businesses. The Campaign, Managed by ARRM and RoadSafe, promotes an evidence-led, ‘safe system’ approach – the long-term objective of which is a road traffic system free from death and serious injury. Our aim is to provide a platform that showcases some of the best work being done around the country to promote:

Safe Vehicles Safe Road Use Safe Speed Safe Roads and Roadsides Post Crash Care
