Speeding Vehicles

#TRUCAM | Local officers have been out using the Trucam device to monitor the speed of vehicles. In the past week, 92 vehicles were caught vehicles travelling over the speed limit! 

People are dying on our roads as a result of motorists’ poor driving, reckless decisions and momentary lapses in concentration. Fatal collisions are heart-breaking – for the family, for the community, and for the responding emergency services staff who have to witness the tragedy and subsequent aftermath. Stopping any more deaths from occurring as a result of something unnecessary and totally avoidable is a top priority for us.

Investigations into collisions show that some fatalities could have been prevented and that there are five main contributory factors that cause serious road traffic collisions. These are known as the 'Fatal Five'.

Careless driving

Drink and drug driving

Not wearing a seatbelt

Using a mobile phone

Speeding

This is a reminder to stick to the speed limit.
