Road Traffic Offences
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to help reduce hit-and-run incidents where drivers cannot be identified.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
Failing to stop and report an incident is unacceptable, particularly in cases where an individual has been seriously or fatally injured.
On 7 January 2026 we published our new Road Safety Strategy, setting out our vision for a safer future on our roads for all. As part of this, we are reviewing the motoring offences and have published a consultation. The consultation includes questions about failure to stop and report incidents and seeks views on possible changes to the law.
