Road Safety

Fast driving doesn't cause accidents - poor driving does. Poor hazard perception, travelling too close, travelling too fast for the conditions and poor road engineering are all typical causes of accidents. But remember that riders and drivers are not the only road users with a responsibility - all road users have a responsibility to each other and all road users should be trained in road safety and accident prevention.

A Transport Research Laboratory Report concluded that 84% of pedestrian fatalities were the fault of the pedestrian. Motorways carry the highest UK speed limit and 15% of the traffic, but account for only 3% of the accidents. The UK's roads are the safest in the world Road casualties have fallen every year since 1940, despite average speeds and the number of vehicles increasing. The only surveys into accident causation have shown that fewer than 5% of accidents are caused through excess speed. Over 70% of accidents involving injury happen where the speed limit is 40mph or less. Speed Cameras can cause accidents rather than prevent them.

Further information on these issues can be found at the Association of British Drivers and detailed analysis of the 'Safety Camera' propganda at the excellent SafeSpeed.
