20% of drivers have tried to replace vehicle trips with walking or cycling where possible.I wish that I could53% of drivers said they now generally walk or cycle short journeys (up slightly from 52% in 2002).See above, amazed that it has taken over twenty years though to achieve a 1% increase23% of drivers are cyclists, 12% using their bikes at least once a month.Surprised that it is so low, virtuslly every csr owner that I know (and 100%** in my family) owns and uses a bike ** I'm the exception.49% of under 25s admit to using a handheld phone for calls while driving (up from 34% in 2022).Throw the book at them £500 fine and six pointx first offence, £1000 fine and 12 month ban for second offence,no escuse to avoid using hands free if you must use the phone at all.30% of under 25s say they have had a video call while driving.See above, same penalty60% of all drivers say they use their phone in stationary traffic.See above, same penalty55% of drivers say they'd drive less if public transport was better.Yes but only if it was accessible55% of drivers say they would support pay per mile road pricing by the end of the decade.Still unsure that it can be delivered, no coutry has a wide are PPM scheme operating without serious issues. Whateever hppens, don't let Capita anywhere near it!63% believe there are not enough police on the roads enforcing driving laws. Absolutely, I have two friends who are Roads Policing Officers and they are tasked on so many disparate duties that they both admit to being ineffective in day to day enforcement.Overall an interesting report reflecting the changing face of road use.
