The Government introduced a hazard perception into the UK driving test in 2002, and a later study showed that an 11.3% fall in low-speed collisions could be directly attributed to this.
Research by Horswill in 2016 found it led to the prevention of 8,535 damage-only collisions and 1,076 injury collisions a year, as well as an annual saving of £89.5 million.
“It does look like the hazard perception test being introduced into the UK has had a very good benefit,” said David Crundall, traffic and transport psychologist at Nottingham Trent University.
Online exhibition highlights lives of people in workhouses
The stories of Ripon Union Workhouse female inmates form part of a major new online exhibition VOLUNTEERS from a city museum have been working on a major new online exhibition about people in the workhouse system. Ripon Museum Trust volunteers from The Workhouse Museum have worked on the exhibition presented by The Workhouse Network called More Than Oliver Twist and presented on the Google Arts & Culture platform. The More Than Oliver Twist project set out to discover the real stories of people in the workhouse system through the 1881 census returns. Researched and interpreted by volunteer researchers at six sites across The Workhouse Network, the stories have been used to create an online exhibition, with work from artists Morgan Tipping and Mel Rye, exploring six of these lives and the contemporary echoes of their historic experiences.
The comet was first discovered on September 21 by South African astronomer Nicolas Erasmus, hence the name.
Astronomer Gerald Rhemann snapped an image of the distant comet on the morning of November 20, which shows it has a beautiful green glow about it.
Mr Rhemann said: “The tail is magnificent. In fact, I couldn’t fit it in a single field of view. This two-panel composite shows the first 3 degrees–and it keeps going well past the edge of the photo.”
