KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE<br />
CHECK YOUR SPEED<br />
Children can’t judge the speed of vehicles<br />
accurately –slow down around schools and<br />
vulnerable road users.<br />
In an emergency, the average driver takes<br />
about 1.5 seconds to react. The faster<br />
you’re going -the longer it takes to stop.<br />
