TABLE. Lee Bank Middleway:

We take road safety incredibly seriously and regularly carry out operations and work across our force area to take action against dangerous drivers and protect the community.

We work with communities and partners, including local councils, charities, and the West Midlands Combined Authority to achieve safer roads for everyone.

Our proactive approach involves focused operations in key areas, tackling The Fatal 4 and preventing harm to the most vulnerable road users. The fatal four includes:

• Speeding
• Drink and drug driving
• Using a mobile phone while driving
• Not wearing a seatbelt

It is crucial that all road users act in a responsible manner, acknowledging the dangers that can be presented on roads.

It is also vital that proper care is taken at all times and that drivers and riders act in a responsible manner befitting the risks they can present to others on the roads.

We will continue our push to Vision Zero but to achieve this goal, we will need the support of all partners, communities, and road users.

Where dangerous driving is observed, this can be reported directly to us on Operation Snap.

Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete.
