Answer

I am aware of the report published on 13 November 2025, which uses PSNI road traffic collision data from 2020 to 2024 to review collisions involving older car drivers and identify any emerging issues in relation to the number of such drivers killed or seriously injured on roads here. My officials will require more time to fully consider the data presented. After this I can consider meeting with the Minister of Health.

Road safety continues to be of paramount importance for my Department, and I am committed to working proactively, along with key partners in the Strategic Road Safety Forum to make our roads safer for everyone. As my resources are limited, I will continue to focus them on interventions where evidence shows they will have the greatest impact.
