National road safety operation to tackle the fatal four causes of collisions

Throughout July, Essex Police will be supporting a national road safety campaign to both educate and act as a deterrent to road users by focussing on causes of collisions.

The aim of this operation is to protect our communities and neighbourhoods by disrupting criminal activity on roads in Essex and reduce the number of people who are killed and seriously injured on our roads. It also supports Vision Zero, our ambition to have zero road deaths by 2040 or sooner.

Activity will be led by our roads policing officers, supported by teams from across the force including neighbourhood policing teams and response officers, and is focused on the fatal four offences of drink and drug driving, mobile phone use, speeding, and failing to wear a seatbelt. Read More
