Can We Stop Traffic Fatalities? A Hard Look at the Reality with Peter Flanders APM

Drawing on decades in policing, road safety, and high‑performance motorcycling, Peter explains why driver behavior is the core problem and how simply slowing down by 5 km/h and giving yourself more time and distance can dramatically reduce crashes and road trauma. He shares human stories behind the statistics, the impact of trauma and split‑second decisions on police and first responders, and how his father’s example shaped his values. Peter also unpacks practical leadership mantras “Know the name of their dog,” “Value the meat and thank the cleaner,” “Supervision equals protection,” and “Not deciding is still a decision,” offering concrete guidance for anyone leading teams or families, on the road and at work.
