MOD backs safety camera campaign

The Ministry of Defence is lending its support to the National Safety Camera Liaison (NSCL) by handing door hangers to non commissioned officers in the Defence School of Transport (DST) for further distribution to soldiers currently undergoing training at DST.

"The aim of the NSCL campaign is to make all drivers more aware of the current speed limits applicable to vehicles and trailers on UK roads today," said warrant officer JH Ball, Senior Master Driver (Training).

"Let’s face it when was the last time you read the Highway Code? Master Drivers worldwide are helping the NSCL to get this very important road safety message across."

Susan Beck, NCSL’s communications manager said: "We are delighted with the support that the MOD is giving to safety camera partnerships. The door hangers give information about how to find out where all the safety cameras are in your location.

"It is vital that service personnel get this message in the interest of both their safety and the safety of other road users. We look forward to all military bases in the UK carrying out a similar campaign using these door hangers so that we reach more and more service personnel."
