Speed campaign ‘Went too fast, gone too soon’
Jan Vandaele
Challenge and goals
‣ In Belgium, driving over the speed limit causes around 250 deaths every year, making it the number one traffic mortality cause.
‣ Nevertheless, speeding is still considered a socially acceptable act: more than 63% of Belgians feel it is OK to drive beyond speed limit.
‣ BRSI wanted to increase awareness of the consequences of speeding and actively engage people in public debate on the topic.
‣ BRSI wanted a peer-to-peer approach to influence the social norm because loved ones have more influence and impact on people;
