Safety Cameras Campaign September 2026

There’s a story behind every speed camera. Don’t make it yours.

Police Scotland Safety Cameras is reminding drivers that if they drive too fast, they could become the story behind the speed camera, reinforcing the message that speed cameras are placed where someone has been killed or injured due to speeding. Speeding can easily become a habit due to a combination of factors, including perceived time pressures, social influence, and a lack of awareness of the risks. Breaking this habit requires conscious effort, including adjusting mindsets and actively choosing safer driving practices. This campaign tells the story behind the speed camera, a motorist who did not think it would happen to them and must face the devastating consequences of their attitude to speeding. It will run nationally across multiple channels and outdoor advertising for 4 weeks starting on the 31 August 2026.

We’re supporting the Police Scotland Safety Cameras ‘There’s a story behind every speed camera. Don’t make it yours’

campaign encouraging drivers to change their attitude to speeding. #KnowYourLimits

When you drive, it’s not just your life you’re responsible for. #KnowYourLimits

Every extra mph reduces your reaction time and increases

your risk of a collision. The consequences can last a

lifetime. #KnowYourLimits

10mph over the speed limit can mean a lifetime of regret. Don’t let speeding ruin your future.  #KnowYourLimits
