Pictures of you - This is why you're photographed when you speed

Over the years, the main focus for the TAC's anti-speed campaigns has been firmly establishing the relationship between speed and the impact of a crash and the difference 5km/h can make via the 'Wipe Off 5' campaigns. 'Pictures of You' compliments the anti-speed message by highlighting the direct relationship between the horrific legacy that speed-related trauma creates and the importance of speed cameras in reducing a driver's tendency to speed.

All types of speeding are dangerous. Speeding reduces the time drivers have to avoid crashes, their ability to control the vehicle and lengthens stopping distances, increasing both the likelihood of crashing and the severity of the crash outcome.

Victoria Police employ multiple technologies to assist in reducing the incidence of speeding on our roads. These include:

  • Mobile speed cameras
  • Fixed speed cameras
  • Red light speed cameras
  • Moving-mode radar
  • Hand-held laser

The decision to feature real people in this campaign was to ensure that the message was credible and communicated by real people, from every walk of life who could easily be you or your brother, sister,  mother, father or friend.
