Stay Speed Aware and Keep our Villages Safe.
Staffordshire Police is running a Speed Aware campaign to encourage all road users to travel at a safe speed for the road conditions.
Speeding increases the chance of a collision occurring, putting all road users at risk. The faster a vehicle is traveling, the greater the stopping distance, for example, if you are travelling at 50 mph it will take 53 metres to stop, that’s the length of an Olympic swimming pool.
In poor weather conditions such as rain or ice, your stopping distances will increase, so always take account of this in your driving and slow down for the weather conditions. You should always leave enough distance between you and the vehicle in front. |
