The theme for this year’s Road safety Week is ‘Let’s Talk About SPEED’.
Five people die on UK roads every day, so why do some drivers still think it’s OK to speed?
It’s important we all have conversations about Speed and Road Safety week is the perfect opportunity to raise awareness. The 2023 campaign will start the conversation about why speeding is thought of as acceptable in some situations, what happens when we speed and why reducing speed saves lives.
Ross Moorlock, Interim CEO at Brake:
“Every time we drive faster than the speed limit, or too fast for the road conditions, we increase the risk of a crash – and we increase the chance that someone will be killed or hurt on the road. The faster you go, the longer the stopping distance and the harder you will hit something.”
