FEWER than two in five drivers think it is safe for families to walk and cycle in most or all of their local area, according to a survey.
As many as 16% of the drivers polled had a near-miss with someone on foot or bike in the past 12 months, the poll by road safety charity Brake and Churchill Insurance found.
Also, 62% of the drivers worried about being hit by traffic when they were on foot in their local area.
