While I’m still not fully back to myself, the unexpected downtime gave me a rare chance to step back and reflect. One reflection in particular has stayed with me: the awful level of deaths on our roads in 2025. Every year we hear that new measures are being introduced to improve road safety, and in my own lifetime I’ve seen real progress. Road safety isn’t fixed by one new law or one more campaign; it improves through small, sensible changes and personal choices. Ultimately, safer roads come down to awareness, consideration, and common sense.
