POLICE are focusing on reducing dangerous driving and educating all drivers on the consequences of speeding across Cumbria.
Although the number of collisions on Cumbrian roads has decreased from the year before, Peter McCall, Police and Crime Commissioner, and the Cumbria Constabulary are focusing on reducing dangerous driving and educating drivers on the dangers of speeding.
The focus on prevention aims to teach the public the possible charges faced if caught speeding and how speeding and losing control of a vehicle can negatively affect lives.
Mr McCall said: "Speeding is a major issue consistently raised by the public and is an issue that we all have a responsibility to address.
"A large percentage of our roads here in Cumbria are made up of rural, narrow roads which often hold blind corners – these roads should be driven on with caution but some drivers become over confident, that’s when accidents happen."
