Queensland Road Safety Week started on Monday, August 26 and runs to Friday, August 30, each day we will talk about a different road safety issue to remind everyone to take the time to think about our driving habits.
Today, North Brisbane Police are talking about speeding.
‘Speeding’ refers to driving faster than the speed limit and also means driving too fast for the prevailing conditions without considering the vehicle’s condition and capabilities or the driver’s skill and experience.
It’s a fact: 50 per cent of speeding crashes happen at just 1-10km/h over the speed limit. Despite this, many road users still speed and it can have enormous consequences.

It’s important to regularly check your speed to ensure you are travelling within the posted speed limit.
Leave sufficient distance between you and the vehicle in front so you have enough time to react and brake.
