Let’s talk about speed

Thursday 09 November 2023

Speed is the theme of this year's Road Safety Week.

Road safety week will be commencing from the 19 to the 25 of November.

The annual event is once again being coordinated by its founder BRAKE; a UK Road Safety Charity established in 1995. This year's theme has been titled “Let’s talk about Speed” following the 129 speeding convictions in Guernsey last year. 

“We hope road safety week will make everyone more aware of the challenges we all face when navigating our daily journeys, with the ultimate aim of reducing and avoiding injuries on Guernsey’s roads”, said Jennifer Merrit, Chair of the Guernsey Road Users Network (GRUN).

GRUN has created a programme of events for the week.

The aim of this year's event is to spark debate over when speeding might be considered acceptable, and the impact speeding has on people’s lives. Road safety week presents itself this year as an opportunity for people to share road safety messages and remember those affected by road related deaths and or injuries.
