It will be interesting to see what is discussed during the programme.
VOSA & HSE don't seem to be taking Road Safety very seriously.

Britain has the safest roads in Europe, and yet after years of fewer people dying on our roads, numbers are rising again. Five people die on average each day on our road network; more people were injured last year than the entire population of Northampton.
In this two-part documentary, Justin Rowlatt and Anita Rani clock up the miles, criss-crossing the country to find out why so many traffic accidents are still happening. They witness what traffic police see every day, meet crash survivors and safety experts; they undergo tests with scientists and psychologists to examine our driving abilities, and squirm with discomfort when their own driving comes under close scrutiny. As government spending cuts continue, some analysts believe it is laying the foundations for a road safety disaster.
Episode One
A year after the M5 crash – in which seven people died – Justin and Anita ask how good are Britain's roads and cars at protecting us? As the government considers raising the speed limit to 80mph, Anita takes to the motorways with the police, while Justin hits the test track in his poorly maintained people carrier. How will it compare to the latest cutting-edge cars?
Experts believe we’re on the cusp of a safety revolution, with high-tech cars and black boxes or cameras recording our every move; Justin and Anita find out what it’s like to drive with big brother technology installed. And they learn about the real economic cost of car crashes and how they compare to the costs of fixing Britain’s most dangerous roads.city
On the way they meet extraordinary people - a Paralympian who says she wouldn’t be in a wheelchair if she had worn a seatbelt, a couple who saved lives in the M5 crash, and the man responsible for safety rating every road in Britain, who believes some of our important roads are in crisis.
