The Scottish Executive commissioned research to follow up previous studies in 1991, 1994 and 1996 on the causes and consequences of speeding. This study consists of:
- a review of national and international literature,
- focus groups with drivers of different ages, gender, trip obligations and inclinations towards speeding,
- interviews with crash-involved drivers,
- a review of recent anti-speeding campaigns and initiatives in Scotland,
- an analysis of a sample of police records of speeding offences, and
- an extensive household survey of over 1,000 Scottish car drivers
Results were compared with previous studies and a comprehensive picture of the attitudes and behaviour of speeding drivers in Scotland and of the association between their speeding behaviours and their recent crash-history was compiled.
