Driver behaviour
Keep to the speed limit
Speeding can have big consequences. These statistics show the difference it makes.
Speeding contributes to 1 in 5 deaths on Scotland’s roads.
Because speeds are higher on non-built-up roads they account for almost two thirds (64%) of road deaths.
Fatal collisions caused by drivers going at 65mph could be halved if the drivers slowed down by just 5mph.
Children and Educators
Our teaching resources equip children with the skills, knowledge and attitudes that will help them stay safe now and in later life.
