"Speed Kills" Campaign

[becca1707]

Where can I find research and statistics on the "Speed Kills" campaign and information about the danger of speed?

The "Speed Kills" slogan has been used in various campaigns from a variety of organisations.

The latest information on the government's anti-speeding campaign is here:

There's a summary of the RoSPA campaigns here:

Current advice and policy documents from RoSPA, relating to speeding, can be found here:

Information about the dangers of speed can be found on the website of the charity, Brake, here:

The Slower Speeds Initiative might also be relevant:

Hoping this helps,

You are not going to find much in the way of true facts of statistics because no real scientific study has ever been done of a correlation between safety and speed. The whole thing is a propoganda myth proliferated by the government as a way of justifying enormous amounts of fund-raising from motorists by treating very trivial misdemeanours as if they were serious crimes.
