Its nothing new. All councils have been given the target to reduce KSIs by 40% by 2010. Its an EU directive that Tony-kiss-EU-ass Blair has committed us to. Inspite of the fact that If the French hit the the target their roads would still be more dangerous than ours are now.
So when they say "we are on course to meet the government target" in reply to road deaths going up, this is what they are referring to...

Quote:
In March 2000 the Prime Minister launched the Government’s road safety strategy
“Tomorrow’s Roads: Safer for Everyone”. This sets new national casualty targets for the
year 2010, compared with the average for 1994-98, these being:
· A 40% reduction in the number of people killed or seriously injured (KSI) in road
accidents
· A 50% reduction in the number of children killed or seriously injured (Child KSI) in
road accidents
· A 10% reduction in the slight casualty rate, expressed as the number of people
slightly injured per 100 million vehicle kilometres.
