Over the previous two years, Pembrokeshire had had a terrible record of road accidents, said the Chief Constable, Mr. Alan Goodson. He was presenting safe driving awards for 1965 to members of the Haverfordwest Post Office telephones engineering centre and said that the people of Pembrokeshire could be ashamed of their road accidents statistics. In 1965, 23 people were killed on the roads - the worst figure since 1941. There were no grounds for complacency in 1966 either - already 11 people had been killed. This time the previous year there were 14; and 445 people had been injured, as against 477 during the same period the previous year.
