Speeding is one of the biggest contributing factors to collisions on the roads of Wales, which can lead to injuries and fatalities.

Even driving at 1mph over the limit increases the risk of collision and injury, but we are seeing speeds of sometimes double the speed limit which massively increases the risk. We enforce at the right place, at the right time, for the right reason – which is to protect all road users, to encourage compliance with the speed limit and to reduce collisions and casualties on our road network.

Our deployment of Casualty Reduction Officers across the four Welsh forces is based on community concerns, specific intelligence of an individual or group of motorists causing anti-social behaviour on our roads as well as continuing to serve the locations with collision histories.

We all have the right to use the roads safely and confidently, whether we are motorists, motorcyclists, cyclists, horse riders or pedestrians. But we all have an equal responsibility to keep our roads safe and ensure our own and other road users safety at all times.

Speed limits are there for a reason and we always enforce at the right place, at the right time, for the right reason – to encourage compliance with the speed limit and to make the roads safer.

With Christmas fast approaching, we know there are much better things to be spending your money on than a speeding fine. Before being tempted to speed, just think - Fine or Mine?

Remember, speeding is a choice, and by choosing to stand up for slowing down and driving within the legal speed limits you are playing your part in keeping Welsh roads safer for everyone.
