Mark McArthur-Christie - Magic Numbers in Road Safety

  • Date
    20th July 2006
  • Place
    Chemistry Research Laboratory (CRL), Oxford
In July we had a change of pace from hurtling around a track to thinking about what the authorities are doing with all the money they take from us, and whether they "could do better"!
Mark McArthur-Christie is one of the UK's leading spokesmen on trying to get some sense into transport policy in general, and roads in particular. You've probably not noticed, but you will often have seen him on your television commenting on the latest "bright idea" that someone has had, apparently to improve safety or traffic flow.
Before you all go yawn, yawn he is also a very entertaining as well as a thought-provoking speaker - and of course he lives in Oxfordshire!
Mark is the Director of Policy of the Association of British Drivers, The Chairman of the Oxford Area Group of Advanced Motorists, and a founding member of Two Wheels Better, the motorcycle think-tank. He actually prefers two wheels, believing that free parking, the ability to filter through traffic and the lack of a front number plate are all useful assets!
By day he is a partner at Freeman Christie, a commercial communications consultancy.
