James Luckhurst interviews Sarah Vaughan from Angelica Solutions. They discuss the role of insurers in road safety, particularly focusing on how driving style and collision frequency are related.

Sarah explains that insurers have a unique position to influence road safety due to their extensive data on crashes. However, she notes that insurers often prioritise profit over reducing collisions. They also talk about the potential benefits of telematics car insurance, which tracks driving behaviour and can encourage safer driving through incentives.

Sarah highlights the challenges of data sharing among insurers and the importance of pooling data for the greater good. They also discuss the increased risk of collisions at night and around airports, emphasising the need for better road safety policies and awareness.
