00:00Hop off the bike mate, you're not going to be riding from here.
00:02I'll grab your driver licence please.
00:04I checked your speed well in excess of 45 kilometres an hour over the speed limit.
00:09I've signposted 80 kilometre an hour zone.
00:11Wow.
00:11What's your reason for doing double the speed limit?
00:14I don't have a reason for it.
00:17We're here today to remind all road users in the ACT to do the right thing.
00:22Over the last week we've had a number of drivers detected speeding at ridiculous speeds.
00:28In one instance, a P-platter who had his licence for three weeks was detected travelling at
00:34170 kilometres an hour in a 100k zone.
00:38If you have a collision at that speed, you will die.
00:43The danger obviously when it comes to speeding is not just to the individual driving the car.
00:48Other motorists including motorcyclists, vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists,
00:55if someone hits them, again, they will be killed.
00:58You can drastically change the course of someone's life or their family's lives.
01:04And police are tired of going to speak to families to tell them one of their loved ones is dead.
01:09Nine people have died on ACT roads this year.
01:13We're only just halfway through the year.
01:15It shouldn't be happening.
01:16Our message is simple.
01:18Slow down.
01:19There is no reason to exceed the speed limit in the ACT.
01:22We have a good road network.
01:24It's important to stay safe on those roads.
01:27We're here today.
01:27You
