A13 Campaign

The A13 campaign has been and still is aiming to raise public awareness of the additional enforcement taking place on the A13. Essex Police will be using resources including marked and unmarked vehicles and the force helicopter along the whole stretch of the A13. This additional enforcement will address the particular driver and rider behaviours that are causing the large number of collisions and casualties on this busy route. 

Statistics show that the majority of collisions involve:

• Young drivers aged 17 – 20 years
• Drivers/Riders aged 21 – 25 years
• Drivers/Riders aged 36 – 40 years 
   

The most common causes of these collisions are:

• Failing to judge the speed of other vehicles
• Failing to look properly
• Loss of control
• Careless or reckless driving
• Being in a hurry or in a rush

Essex Police have set up a designated email address for the public to notify them of any problems, incidents or concerns with this route, the address is – A13@essex.pnn.police.uk

During 2009 & 2010, Essex Police will be undertaking additional enforcement targeting driver behaviour and issues such as the non-wearing of seatbelts, hand held mobile use, speeding, drink and drug driving and anti-social behaviour.
