New South Wales police have named the worst ten suburbs for speeding.
During the last financial year, 249,814 people were detected speeding – an increase of 25,661 from the previous 12 months.
The ten worst suburbs throughout the state for speeding during the financial year were:
1. Wilton (3066)
2. Mittagong (2256)
3. Mascot (2125)
4. Nabiac (1730)
5. Waterfall (1646)
6. Lawson (1545)
7. Cateract (1544)
8. Coffs Harbour (1531)
9. Bilpin (1471)
10. Eastern Creek (1463)
Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy said a recent spike in speeding offences should be of concern to all road users.
“Nearly 250,000 people were booked for speeding in the last financial year.
“This figure shows our commitment in identifying and prosecuting speeding drivers. However, it also indicates that personal responsibility is lacking on the part of too many road users.
“Speeding is still the number one killer on our roads, contributing to about 40% of fatal crashes,” Assistant Commissioner Corboy said.
