Speed still kills

Speeding fines handed out to drivers in Scotland increased by more than 60 per cent over 12 months while road deaths were up by 9 per cent. "If anyone ever needed proof that speed enforcement is not saving lives, this is it," said Paul Smith, founder of Scotland’s Safe Speed road safety campaign. "Clearly the massive increase in speed enforcement has not driven down road deaths. And if it doesn’t save lives what good is it?" Smith, a 49-year-old engineer, said driving safety was not about "sticking to the speed limit". "It’s about far more sophisticated driver behaviours based on skills, attitudes and responsibilities.
