Speed is a contributory factor in most serious road crashes and casualties. Driving is unpredictable and if something unexpected happens on the road ahead, it is a driver’s speed that will determine whether they can stop in time, and if they can’t stop, the impact speed.

The greater the impact speed, the greater the chance of death to a person or persons. A pedestrian hit at 30mph has a, one in five chance of being killed. This rises significantly to a one in three chance if they are hit at 35mph.

Who is this training for?

Do you know the speed limits for certain vehicles on certain roads? Do you know the speed of the national speed on single roads, dual carriageways and motorways? Would you know if you were driving on a dual carriageway or a single road? This course is to teach people who drive the limits of speeding and the consequences or just speeding an extra few miles per hour.

What does the course cover?

This course will teach people who speeds, the types of speed related crashes, being aware of your speed, understanding speed limits, stopping distance, impact speeds, factors influencing your stopping distance, maintaining a safe speed and much more.

What is the benefit to your business?

This will train your staff quickly and efficiently to learn the importance of not speeding and keeping a safe distance. That it actually does make a difference when you are travelling at 35mph in a 30 mph zone. This will allow your staff to train at any time to suit your needs.

“On 30 mph roads, 46% of car drivers exceed 30 mph and 16% exceed 35 mph. A pedestrian hit at 30mph has a, one in five chance of being killed. This rises significantly to a one in three chance if they are hit at 35mph. It is estimated that for every 1mph reduction in average speeds, collision rates fall by an average of 5%.”
