road crashes, and celebrate the work of the incredible number of people
who come together every day to support families after a road death or
serious injury.

Sign up for Road Safety Week 2024After the crash, every road victim counts
Every year, more than 1700 people die on UK roads.
Another 30,000 receive serious, life-changing injuries.
The numbers are shocking, and there has been no significant reduction for more than a decade.
But road casualties are not just statistics.
Behind
every number is a family in turmoil. A grief-stricken family trying to
navigate its way through the complex procedures that often follow a road
crash. Behind every number is a family whose lives have been changed
forever in an instant. A family that needs our help.
This
Road Safety Week, Brake is counting the real cost of road crashes. We
are revealing the stories behind the numbers and calling for the very
highest standard of care for every road victim.
Because after the crash, every road victim counts.

What is Road Safety Week?
Road Safety Week is Brake's biggest road safety campaign.
Every
year, thousands of schools, organisations and communities get involved
to share important road safety messages, remember people affected by
road death and injury, and raise funds to help Brake care for more road
