A concentrated 24 hour Europe-wide road safety campaign is taking place today. The European TISPOL (European Traffic Police Network) initiative aims to increase prosecutions for speeding motorists.

A focused "Speed Marathon" exercise started today at 6.00am and will end tomorrow morning at 6.00am.

Today's initiative forms part of a longer TISPOL's operation that lasts until Sunday 24th April.

A TISPOL spokesman said: "Our speed enforcement activity is all about prevention. We want drivers to think about the speeds they choose; speeds which are both legal and appropriate for the conditions. By doing so, they will be reducing the risks they face and the risks they pose to other road users. That's why we encourage participating countries and police forces to publish information about the precise locations of speed checkpoints in advance. We want to get into the heads of drivers, not their purses."

He added "Illegal and/or inappropriate speed is the single biggest factor fatal road collisions. That's why police officers take action against drivers who fail to comply with speed limits. The 24-hour speed marathon is one component in our strategy for reducing casualties, and making Europe’s roads safer."
