Speed

You only have to lose control once

1 in 5 deaths on Scotland’s roads are caused by speeding. A collision could happen to anyone – no matter how good a driver you think you are.

Distraction

Keep your mind on the road

Distractions are one of the most common causes of incidents on the road. Stay focused when you’re on the road.

Driver fatigue

Driving tired kills

Fatigue causes hundreds of accidents each year and are roughly 50% more likely to result in death or serious injury.

Keep to the speed limit

Speeding can have big consequences. These statistics show the difference it makes.

21%

Speeding contributes to 1 in 5 deaths on Scotland’s roads.

64%

Because speeds are higher on non-built-up roads they account for almost two thirds (64%) of road deaths.

47%

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.
