This report came out yesterday from the all parliamentary cycling group. I think it is really well argued and am supportive of the vast majority of their aims and objectives.

I expect most people stopped reading at cycling, which is a shame as the recommendations have much broader road safety impications.
The key recommendations are as follows;
Group A consists of ambitious (but, we believe, feasible) recommendations that have large potential benefits, though they may depend on significant enabling action, such as legislative change.
A1 Escalating penalties for repeated offences
A2 Compulsory re-testing
A3 Increased maximum sentence fordangerous driving and fuller use of Police bail powers
A4 Exceptional hardship to be truly exceptional
A5 Removal of tolerances in speed enforcement
Those in Group B are relatively uncontroversial and could be implemented fairly rapidly, at least in principle, given the necessary political will.
B1 Consistently thorough investigation of serious collisions
B2 Standardising third-party reporting systems
B3 A UK Commissioner for Road-Danger Reduction
B4 Treating crash victims as victims of crime
B5 Widen understanding of the Highway Code
If you want the detail the report and the case studies included provide a lot more detail.
