Speed
The FactsSpeed is still one of the biggest contributory factors in fatal road accidents. In 2008, 4,685 people were killed or seriously injured (KSI) in crashes where a speed contributory factor was reported; 586 of these were fatalities.Source: RCGB 2008

Inappropriate speed is too fast
You don't have to be driving over the speed limit to be driving too fast. "Inappropriate speed" means driving within the speed limit, but too fast for the road and traffic conditions. It includes approaching a bend or junction too fast, failing to negotiating narrow roads properly and overtaking where it is not safe to do so. Inappropriate speed can also be a contributory factor in collisions which occur during poor weather conditions and when driving at night. Choosing the appropriate speed is about judgement, Most people think they get it right. Sadly, the statistics show many get it wrong.

Speed - Rural

Although the national speed limit applies on the majority of rural roads, most drivers do not exceed it - the problem is driving too fast for the conditions.

* More than 60 per cent of all deaths due to road accidents were in rural areas.

* The people most at risk on rural roads are young men, predominantly aged between 17 and 39.
Speed - Urban

* Exceeding the speed limit or going too fast for the conditions was reported as a factor in 25% of urban fatal accidents.

* Over 70% of drivers in one study admitted to speeding in urban areas.

Results
A combination of engineering and enforcement measures alongside the education campaigns have seen some improvements in speeding behaviours. For example, in 1995 72% of cars exceeded the speed limit on 30mph roads; by 2005 this had reduced to 49%.
