Reports

"Between 1986 and 2000, the Road Safety Foundation published over 30 reports, several of which provided the basis of new legislation or government policy"

On 1 April 2005, the Foundation transferred all of its research and reports (including reports still to be published but excluding research by EuroRAP) to the now IAM Motoring Trust.
 
The Foundation’s reports are kindly archived by the IAM Motoring Trust where briefings, and in some cases a PDF summary of the report, can be found.
