Hertfordshire Constabulary, together with other agencies, local and national, is working hard to achieve the following Government targets by 2010:
· 40% reduction in the number of people killed or seriously injured in road accidents
· 50% reduction in the number of children killed or seriously injured
· 10% reduction in the slight casualty rate
In an average day 10 people are killed and
110 are seriously injured in England.
Think!' is the branding behind the 10-year national road safety campaign which
hopes to unite agencies' efforts under one easily identifiable banner.

Top Ten Road Safety Tips
1. Don't use your mobile phone whilst
driving
Making or receiving a call, even using a hands-free phone, can distract your
attention from driving and could lead to an accident.
2. Belt up in the back. In a collision, an unbelted rear seat passenger can kill or seriously injure the driver or a front seat passenger.
3. Don't drink and drive Any alcohol, even a small amount, can impair your driving so be a safe driver don't drink and drive.
4. Slow down. At 35mph you are twice as likely to kill someone you hit as at 30mph.
5. Children, Children often act impulsively, take extra care outside schools, near buses and ice cream vans when they might be around.
6. Take a break Tiredness is thought to be a major factor in more than 10% of road accidents. Plan to stop for at least a 15-minute break every 2 hours on a long journey.
7. Walk safely. When crossing a road always use a pedestrian crossing if there is one nearby. Help others to see you by wearing fluorescent or reflective clothing in poor light conditions.
8. Anticipate Observe and anticipate other road users, use your mirrors regularly and don't forget to glance into your blind area before altering your course.
9. Use child seats Child and baby seats should be fitted properly and checked every trip.

POLICE are reminding motorists that
uninsured drivers using Hertfordshire’s roads face having their vehicles seized
and destroyed thanks to new powers available to the police.
This legislation forms part of the serious and organised crime act and has been
enforced by officers from the Road Policing Units and Automatic Number Plate
Recognition (ANPR) teams.
The cutting edge Automatic Number Plate Recognition system can read
registration plates of every passing car and can make immediate links to a
range of intelligence databases, including the Police National Computer and tax
and insurance records. Officers are then provided with an immediate indication
to whether a vehicle is uninsured.
All vehicles that are stopped in the will have an insurance check and if the
vehicle is found to be without insurance then a specialist officer will attend
and can undertake the seizure.
The seized vehicles are taken to a secure compound and the driver of the
vehicle is given seven working days to prove they have the necessary insurance and
hold an appropriate licence. The owner will have to pay a recovery charge of
£105 in addition to a storage charge of £12 per day. If no contact is made from
the owner after 14 days the vehicle can be destroyed under the legislation.
