National Road Victim Month 2022

August is National Road Victim Month, which is led by Road Peace Charity to educate the public on the impact of road traffic accidents and remember those who have been killed or injured as a result.

August is dedicated to Road Victim Month as Bridget Driscoll, the first person to be killed by a motor vehicle, died on 17^th August 1896. Over half a million people have been killed on the roads since. Princess Diana was also killed in a road traffic accident on 31^st August 1997. August is statistically one of the most dangerous months on the roads. This is because of the increased volume of traffic due to warmer weather and therefore an increase in cyclists and motorcyclists.

The World Health Organisation’s research shows that road traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for children and young adults. There were an estimated 1,560 road deaths in 2021, equivalent to about 4 a day.

"I have recently sold my property in Liverpool and Peter Caswell at Taylor Bracewell Solicitos acted on my behalf and he was outstanding. This was a very difficult sale due to the fact that the other party's solicitors was excessive in their demand and clearly ignorant but Peter was very patient during what ended up being a long drawn out process. Peter maintained professionalism..."
