Road Safety Week 19th – 25th November\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

BRAKE is the UK’s Road Safety Charity and this year’s theme is ‘LET’S TALK ABOUT SPEED’.<\/h3>\n

Now is the perfect opportunity to reflect on how you drive and how to make your road network safer for yourselves, your family,\u00a0 your friends and your local community.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Did you know:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. 1 in 4 fatal crashes involve someone driving too fast.<\/p>\n

2. 5 people die on UK Roads every day.<\/p>\n

3. A crash at 30mph has twice as much energy and destructive potential as a crash at 20mph.<\/p>\n

4. Road Safety Week gives us the opportunity to remember people killed or injured on UK roads.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BRAKE has set us some questions to reflect on why we speed!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Why do we speed? – Do we think it’s ok just this one time, or on this road?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

2. Would you ask someone to slow down if they were going over the speed limit?<\/p>\n

3. What stops you from speeding? – In times when you have found yourself\u00a0speeding, what made you slow down?<\/em><\/p>\n

4. How does fast traffic make you feel? –\u00a0Is it noisy\u00a0or do you feel unsafe?<\/em><\/p>\n
