NSCP deployment intentions for w/c 10 September 2012

This week Northern Safety Camera Partnership Manager, Dougie Bennion raises awareness about the benefits of eco-driving.

“Did you know that you could save around 15% off your fuel costs by following the top ten driving tips recommended by the Energy Saving Trust?:-

1. Shift to a higher gear as soon as possible

Driving at lower engine speeds reduces fuel consumption. Change up between 2,000 and 2,500 rpm.

2. Anticipate road conditions and drive more smoothly

Rather than last minute braking, decelerate smoothly by easing off the accelerator as early as possible. This allows the car to decelerate using engine braking.

With the car in gear and the accelerator released, a modern car uses virtually no fuel at all. This form of braking is also gentler on the car and its occupants.

3. Maintain a steady speed in as high a gear as possible

Driving at a steady speed requires little effort for the engine. Avoiding unnecessary acceleration and heavy braking helps reduce your fuel consumption.

4. Drive a little slower

Stick to the speed limits and make your fuel go further. For most cars the most efficient speed is 45-50 mph. The faster you go above this, the more fuel you will use. Driving at 50mph rather than 70mph reduces your fuel consumption by 10% at a stroke.

5. Switch off if you’re stationary for more than a minute

When stuck in traffic or waiting for someone, switch off your engine. Switching off whenever it’s safe to do so can soon lead to significant savings.

6. Keep your tyres properly inflated

Under-inflated tyres not only lead to poor road holding but also cause excessive drag and resistance, increasing fuel consumption. Both over and under-inflated tyres can be dangerous to road holding, so make sure your tyres are at their recommended pressure.

7. Switch off air conditioning

Use air conditioning sparingly as your engine has to work harder to power the air conditioning machinery. If driving at low speed, open the window instead.

8. Close your windows if travelling at 50mph or more

The aerodynamic drag on your car of an open window at speeds of 50mph or more adds to your fuel usage. Keep your windows closed at high speeds.

9. Remove roof boxes and racks if not being used

Car designers try hard to make their vehicles as aerodynamic as possible. Adding a roof box or rack spoils this by increasing drag on your car, making your engine work harder and increases fuel usage.

10. Remove unnecessary items

Carrying excess weight in a vehicle increases fuel consumption. Heavy or large items, such as tool kits and golf clubs should be removed when not required.”

*Please note that the deployment schedule may be subject to change according to operational priorities and weather conditions.

Mobile cameras will also be operating between camera sites on the A9, the A95, the A82 and the A96.

All our camera sites have a proven history of collisions and evidence of speeding vehicles. We may from time to time use mobile cameras at other sites where both vehicle and road users are at greater risk, such as road works.
