\u201cIt is very concerning that many drivers do not know the UK speed limits. When a car travels at high speed, the driver has less time to identify hazards and react to what is happening around them, creating a serious danger on our roads. It\u2019s important to remember that there is a lot more to learning to drive than just developing practical skills. It is my belief that the driving industry has a responsibility to teach young people the importance of cognitive skill development and the need to learn the rules of the road in order to ensure road safety.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cResearch shows that excessive speed contributes to 24 per cent of collisions in which someone is killed, with 15 per cent of crashes resulting in a serious injury.* A pedestrian who is hit by a car travelling at between 30 mph and 40 mph is between 3.5 and 5.5 times more likely to be killed than if hit by a car travelling at below 30 mph, making education around speed limits vital to reducing road casualties.*<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is promising that young drivers have greater awareness of dual-carriageway and single carriageway speed limits than over 65s and this is no doubt a reflection of the increasing quality of driving tuition today. The number of accidents involving young people however shows that there is still a long way to go and this is why RED\u2019s focus is on developing safer drivers in the long term through the combination of both practical and cognitive skill development.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
