Speeding students see writing on the wall

AS part of a road safety survey at our school, we asked Leaving Cert 2 (LC2) students who drive whether they speed? A total of 42% said they never speed while 36% said they do sometimes.

Half of them said they often speed, while 11% said they speed to show off. A minority (6%) said they only speed when running late (Obviously some of them ticked more than one box).

If they were passengers in a speeding car, 48% of LC2 students would not ask the driver to slow down while 29% would travel in a car with drivers who had been drinking provided they didn’t seem too drunk.
