 As a contributing factor in 20% of all fatal and serious injury crashes, speed continues to be a serious issue on New Zealand roads. In 2015, 87 people were killed and 466 were seriously injured in speed-related crashes.(NZTA)

Previous campaigns have shown that irrespective of your personal driving ability and skill, there are others on the road who make mistakes. Safe speeds are essential for this reason; drivers can’t control the behaviour of other road users but they can control their own.
