Unless anyone can tell me different?
I can't tell you differently, you are probably right. My suspicion is that they are mostly:
a) people with a bee in their bonnet, and
b) in positions of power and influence
and from this they are able to get a lot of publicity and lead things in certain directions. I doubt if many of them have a very constructive - let alone inspirational - feel for the subject of safety or indeed our road usage generally.
What is needed is somebody who can communicate with road user groups in meaningful ways and give the entire culture a lift.
With regard to the TG programme, I'd leave it alone. It is an entertainment programme, and not one that appeals to me, but a great many people seem to enjoy it so that's fine. We need a fresh start with an entirely separate programme format that can have a strong appeal on a different basis. I wouldn't want to try to dictate how things should be, but I would quite like to be part of a group that sought to develop the general format for such a venture.
Best wishes all,
Dave.
