News: Motorways Trial New Speed Limit As Nearly Half Exceed 70 MPH
The Government has confirmed that British motorways will begin trialling a new 80 mph speed limit in an attempt to help motorists stay on the right side of the law.
According to reports from the Department for Transport, approximately 49% of British drivers flout the current 70 mph speed limit imposed on motorways, making them guilty of this criminal offence. The decision to raise the national limit to 80 mph is designed to reduce the number of speeding motorists whilst ensuring the regulations of the road match modern driving conditions.
The 80 mph, which will be trialled on sections of the M25, M1, M6, M20 and M42, will be condition-dependent, meaning that it will not become a universal introduction. In fact, only motorways with three or more lanes are expected to get the new limit - making the system match those used by other European countries.
