Eight out of ten heavy vehicles drive too fast outside schools

For the third year in a row, Folksam has measured speeding violations among various transport companies, and this year it has also measured how professional drivers behave outside schools. And the result is no cheerful reading. On average, heavy traffic drives about eight kilometers per hour too fast outside schools and that figure also applies to SL buses.

- It's quite serious. If you increase the speed from 30 to 38 kilometers per hour, the risk of causing a serious injury to someone you drive on increases by approximately 70 percent and the risk of someone dying increases by three times, says Anders Kullgren.

Anders Kullgren was on site at Stålhamraskolan in Saltskog in Södertälje where the police also carried out a major check on Friday morning. See how he thinks the problems in the video above should be rectified.
