Speed in the Community
Road Safety and Essex Traffic Police worked with Yr. 5 pupils outside Kelvedon Hatch Primary School to assess the speed of the vehicles and try to educate the drivers of the dangers of not keeping to the speed limit.
If a driver is found to be travelling at excessive speed the police stopped the vehicle and the pupils will talked to the driver, showing or reading out work which they will have already completed the week before. They will also give the driver leaflets outlying the dangers of speeding.
Seven drivers, 6 male and 1 female were pulled over with speeds from 45 – 53 mph. The pupils were excellent about encouraging the drivers not to speed and outlining the consequences of their actions.
