Black boxes considered for vehicles

The European Commission is to consider new measures including possibly introducing “black boxes” into cars and lorries as part of its road safety campaign.

The commission is aiming to halve the number of deaths on European roads by 2020 through its “road safety action programme” which intends to set tougher safety standards, build safer roads and develop “intelligent” vehicles. A recent EU survey showed increasing concern over drunk driving, excessive speed and the use of mobile phones whilst driving.

EU transport commissioner Siim Kallas said: "One hundred people die every day on Europe's roads. We have made good progress since 2001 and we have succeeded in saving nearly 80,000 lives. But the number of fatalities and injuries on our roads is still unacceptable. We are looking at what kind of cars motorists drive, where they drive and how they drive, and we want to cut road deaths in half by 2020."

I appointed Winston’s as conveyancers for both the sale of my existing home, and purchase of my next one. Sidraa and Tom were fantastic, working with pace and always responsive by email and/or when I called. It was far more seamless than I anticipated and I was incredibly impressed with their efficiency and communication. Thank you!

I found Winston Solicitors through, of all places, a post on Reddit from property flippers. They had great reviews on it and being a trusted person, did my due dilligence and checked Google too. I wasn't disappointed. I had been dealing with Amanda, Tom and Sidraa throughout my sale and purchase. I felt like I had the best team all the way through. Nothing got passed them and they were always prompt, helpful and friendly from start to finish. Sidraa certainly had her work cut out and she made me feel like they had my back and my interests at heart. Please don't be put off by using solicitors miles away. Most of this can be done online nowadays. It's all so easy to do. I don't want to move anytime soon but, if I have to, I will be using Winston Solicitors again and preferably the same team! Thank you all.
