Road Safety Strategy 2021-30: Discussion

Mr. Sean O'Reardon:

The following figures are just for Tuesday of this week. GoSafe vans checked 25,143 vehicles in a 50 km/h zone, out of which 144 people were over the limit. Of 18,638 vehicles checked in a 60 km/h zone, 102 were over the limit. Of 22,828 vehicles checked in a 80 km/h zone, 30 people were over the speed limit. Of 35,442 vehicles checked in a 100 km/h zone, 106 were over the limit. That is a daily breakdown. GoSafe also sends us the photographs of people who are 30 km/h over the limit. If there is evidence to suggest dangerous driving, we can take a separate course of action. We would pursue the individual who was doing 248 km/h for dangerous driving, as a preference.
