Speed awareness and driver safety courses
National Speed Awareness course
Speeding and excessive speed are widely seen a major contributor to crashes on the road. Reducing speed by only one mile per hour is likely to reduce the total number of crashes by five per cent. Whilst most people see speeding by other drivers as a problem, they rarely see fault in their own driving.
Speeding in North Lincolnshire is tackled through the speed management strategy and a combination of:
- publicity
- enforcement
- engineering
- education.
Speed awareness courses are an alternative to prosecution. They are offered to drivers caught speeding on camera doing over the normal prosecution level. Every driver is expected to take a full and active part in the seminar – if they don’t it is treated as a failure. They will then face prosecution.
