County's speeding crackdown
Published Date:
15 August 2008
DERBYSHIRE Police have launched a month-long campaign to crack down on speeding on the county's roads.
The scheme focuses on roads which have seen speed-related collisions and areas where residents have complained of excessive speeding.
Said Chief Supt Lynn Harris: "There can be no doubt that exceeding the speed limit or simply driving too fast for the road conditions is a contributory cause of many road collisions.
"The higher the speed, the more likely the risk of serious or fatal injury –– that is why we have given priority to the enforcement of speed limits as part of our road safety strategy.
"Although it is an all year round priority, we do conduct speed enforcement campaigns which are designed to draw attention to the misery that can be caused by excessive speed."
