In 2023, a report from the Police Executive Research Forum called for police to put the brakes on car chases unless a violent crime has been committed and the suspect poses an imminent threat.

Svetoslav Trifonov (46) was driving his car along Malahide Road in north Dublin when he went through a light that had changed from green to red, knocking down the woman as she attempted to cross the road.

Compact, low-rise villages and cities made sense based on how far people could reasonably travel on foot or by horse. This was true all the way up until the late 1800s. Then came an invention that let people travel incredible distances in seconds, entirely reshaping cities with dense population clusters.

Sgt. Tiffany Howell, 47, had a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit when she drove her personal vehicle south in the highway's northbound lanes at more than 50 mph and collided with 61-year-old Peekskill resident Manuel Boitel on the night of Jan. 22 in Westchester County, according to the indictment.

OAKLAND The city's transportation director stood Friday morning at a busy Oakland intersection, explaining how newly installed road-safety cameras will work, when suddenly his voice was drowned out by a car roaring down a nearby road. The vehicle, nowhere in sight, was apparently going fast enough that its rattling engine could be heard loudly by those gathered at Broadway and 27th Street, where one of the new cameras is mounted to a street light.

Under the new pilot, every driver cited by the CHP for exceeding 100 mph will have their citation automatically forwarded to the DMV's Driver Safety Branch, no matter their prior record. The DMV will review the case and the driver's history to determine next steps, which could include suspension or even revocation of driving privileges. This administrative process can proceed independently of any court conviction.

A Manhattan appellate court found that the city's speed camera program is legally sound in a decision that caps off an eight-year legal battle that sought to potentially invalidate millions of automatically issued tickets. A group of speeding ticket recipients argued that speed camera summons violate state traffic law on a technicality. Part of the citation on the tickets, called a notice of liability, fails to include a technician's certificate, which they argue, must be signed by a specialist employed by the city.

HSE data repeatedly show the same patterns. Slips and trips on level ground, manual handling strains, falls from height, and road traffic collisions account for most non-fatal injuries. Beacon Law Solicitors have highlighted that in the 2022-23 reporting year, slips and trips made up roughly a third of employer-reported injuries, with handling and lifting close behind. Those are not anecdotes - they reflect the systems that failed in the real world.
