Why reduce speeding?
Excessive speed is a major contributory factor in many road collisions where death and serious injury occur. Tackling speeding reduces the number of people killed and seriously injured on our roads.
In 2009, 216 people died on Scottish roads, that's almost one person killed every day.
In 2009, 815 people were killed or injured on Central Scotland’s roads; of these, 123 were seriously injured and 11 were killed.
Although speeding is not the only reason for death and injuries on our roads, according to a study by Professor Stephen G Stradling at Napier University, those who speed are twice as likely to be involved in a collision.
We don’t want to catch you speeding, we want you to slow down and drive within the limit.
