With unprecedented access to one of the biggest joint inquests the country has seen, this Cause of Death special follows senior coroner Dr James Adeley as he investigates the tragic deaths of four pedestrians in road traffic collisions. Astonishingly, they were all killed in extremely similar circumstances by drivers with defective eyesight. 

Dr Adeley shines a spotlight on whether Britain’s licensing system is fit for purpose or is hopelessly failing the public, in a powerful investigation into systemic failings and the avoidable deaths of beloved family members whose grieving relatives demand answers, action and accountability.
