At 40mph, there is a 90% chance that when a pedestrian is hit, they will be killed
A new report shows that throughout 2022, over two-thirds of vehicles in Northern Ireland exceeded the speed limit on built-up roads of up to 40mph.
In 2022, 55 road deaths were recorded in Northern Ireland, which was five more deaths than the year before. In 2022, the proportion of traffic speeding on single-carriageways was higher than any other year since 2014. "Penalty points given to drivers for speeding can add anything from 5% to car insurance premiums for the first three points on a licence, which can then rise to 25% for six points.
Head of Roads Policing at the PSNI, Graham Dodds said: “Speed restrictions are not there to inconvenience motorists, they are in place to make our roads safer. "Speeding is not just a low-level crime, it’s dangerous. It is a serious threat to other road users. Speeding causes crashes. In a crash the most vulnerable thing on the road is you.
