A recent analysis by the Department of Transport has shown that figures on speeding data show that most motorists exceed 20mph speed limits, with the average speed measured at 26mph. 87% of drivers.
In 2018, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 46% of cars exceeded the speed limit on motorways compared to 52% on 30mph roads and 10% on 60mph roads. The percentage of vehicles complying with the speed limits on free flow roads was higher on weekdays than on weekends.
However, during more recent times, throughout the COVID-19 lockdown, speeding figures went up. New data showed that speeding incidents tripled despite fewer cars on the road and less miles being driven.
