The report first analyses trend information on KSI casualties caused by speeding from a 2004-2008 baseline until 2018. The profile of KSIs in 2014-2018 will then be examined (age, gender, road user category and responsibility) and where speeding sits in comparison with the top ten principal causation factors for KSI collisions, and describes when and where these speeding collisions are more likely to occur. There is also analysis examining the age and gender of those responsible for speeding collisions. Other analysis includes speed limit of road on which KSI collisions occur, and the proportion that were single vehicle collisions. A mapping section reports the number of speeding fatal and serious collisions by District Council and there is also a section on the 2018/19 Continuous Household Survey which examines respondent’s attitudes to speeding. Finally, the report examines a breakdown of the number of offences for speeding recorded by the PSNI and the NI Road Safety Partnership.
