Our findings suggest many people believe they are regularly exposed to pro-speeding content online or via friends, and this might increase their risk of speeding in the real world.
We need to do more to curb tailgating, one of the most stressful and dangerous driving behaviours.
Our results suggest police location groups and pages on Facebook are helping drivers avoid detection for drug driving - with potentially fatal consequences.
New evidence suggests some motorists recognise the risks associated with speeding, but continue to offend anyway.
