‘Be a better driver’ Road Safety message
Central Scotland Safety Camera Partnership (CSSCP) launches their ‘Be a better driver’ road safety message on the back of local buses. The campaign sets out to encourage drivers to be aware of the speed limit and drive within it.
CSSCP deploys mobile safety cameras to locations where there is a history of collisions and evidence of excess speed. With five of CSSCP mobile camera sites located on roads with a speed limit of 30mph it is crucial that the road safety message gets to those drivers who continue to drive irresponsibly.
Neil MacSporran, CSSCP Project Manager said “It is imperative that motorists drive within the speed limit, and at a speed appropriate to the road conditions, if we are to reduce the number of collisions, deaths and serious injuries caused on roads in Central Scotland.”
Kevin Robertson, Chair of CSSCP and Stirling Council’s Roads Manager said “Our aim is to improve road safety and reduce vehicle speeds. Therefore we feel this clear and simple message is appropriate to remind drivers to be aware of the speed limit for the road they are driving on and to drive within the speed limit. As drivers we all need to be more conscious of how we drive and strive to be a better driver.”
Donald McMillan, Chief Inspector, Central Scotland Police Road Policing Unit said “Our goal is to make the roads in Central Scotland safer and we welcome all efforts to educate motorists and encourage drivers to address poor driving behaviour.”
