Motor Mouth Podcast 15: Road safety in the age of Covid-19

Motor mouth

Join Jonathan Swift, Post’s content director, as he catches up with Met Police detective superintendent Andrew Cox, to hear how the capital’s police have been challenged during the pandemic to keep road users safe.

Find out what can the insurance industry do to help tackle the scourge of the uninsured driver, be ready for a new model of road user (with the e-mobility generation hitting the streets) and learn about promoting a culture that shames speeding in the same way drink and drug driving is shamed.
