The royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) is calling for more action to protect vulnerable road users after new figures reveal a rise in the number of deaths on Britain's roads. Statistics released by the Department for Transport (DfT) show the number of people killed or seriously injured on the roads rose in 2014, in particular pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. Three-quarters of the 4% increase in deaths were pedestrian casualties, meaning that last year one in four people killed on the road were pedestrians. There were also 16,727 child casualties in 2014 - up 6.2% on the previous year.
