‘MotoRists Must taKE REsponsibility foR thEiR actions’

Ch Insp Pete Steenhuis, of Kent Police, said: “Speeding is one of the most important issues that communities want the police to tackle which is why we work with partners on a combination of education and enforcement.

“We worked with Kent and Medway Safety Camera Partnership and Kent County Council as part of a national road safety campaign to target speeding drivers in April of this year.

“Research shows that 95% of all collisions on Kent’s roads are due to driver error, and speeding increases the chance of death or serious injury significantly.

“Motorists must take responsibility for their actions and drive to the conditions of the road. A speed limit is exactly that, not a target.

“Slowing down could save a life but if drivers choose to speed, the chances are they will be caught and there will be consequences for them.”
