A Hertfordshire Constabulary spokesman said: “Although the image was created in good fun, we hope it gets across some serious messages around road safety and encourages everyone to help keep Hertfordshire’s roads safe.

“Speed is one of the main factors in fatal road traffic collisions and we’d remind everyone a speed limit is a limit and not a target. The greater the speed, the less time a person has to stop if something unexpected happens.

“Reducing your speed can really make the difference between life and death.”
