This year’s campaign focuses on the dangers of driving too fast.

Breaking the speed limit or travelling too fast for conditions was recorded by police at crash scenes as a contributory factor of 23% of fatal crashes in 2015 and shows that drivers with one speeding violation annually are twice as likely to crash as those with none.

The closing date for entries is Friday, October 20.
