“I was late for work.” “I didn’t see the sign.” “There was no one else on the road!” are not good enough reasons to speed.
Steven Broadbent, Cabinet Member for Transport, said:
“Speeding remains an issue for many communities across the county and can spoil the quality of life for areas blighted by speeding drivers, particularly in rural villages. It’s an issue we work with local partners, such as Thames Valley Police, to address. Speeding puts all road users at risk, not just the driver.
“Our road safety team has many tools available to the public to help manage their speed; including a free, online e-learning module and multiple eco-driving assessments which provide tips on how to manage your speed, and potentially save fuel and money – a benefit which is worth thinking about with fuel costs at an all-time high. The campaign also has a free downloadable campaign toolkit for schools, businesses and local communities to help tackle speeding in their area.
“As the weather improves and more people are using the roads, either driving, riding, cycling or walking, it’s important that we are aware of vulnerable road users and try to keep each other safe on the roads. Please remember, whatever your excuse there really is no excuse for speeding.”
