Dave Nichols, professional engagement officer at Brake, said: ‘This international event is an excellent opportunity for road safety professionals to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the field. It is always well-supported, with delegates attending from across the globe, and provides a tremendous networking opportunity for attendees. I would urge road safety professionals to take advantage of this opportunity to hear from the leading voices in the field; the Speed Congress is a not to be missed training opportunity.’
