Police label speeding as one of the ‘fatal four’ offences which are most commonly linked to deaths and serious injuries — alongside drink and drug-driving, not wearing a seatbelt and using a mobile phone behind the wheel.

County Safer Roads Operations Manager, Matt O’Connell, said: “We cannot be any clearer: speeding kills.

"Even just a few miles per hour over the speed limit can have extreme consequences, leaving families devastated by losing loved ones.”
