Road Safety


Speeding is one of the ‘fatal five’ most common causes of serious injuries and death on UK roads.

The others are not wearing a seatbelt, driver distraction (including using a mobile phone), driving under the influence of drink or drugs and careless and inconsiderate driving.

Remember, speed limits are set for a reason and exceeding them is illegal.

The minimum penalty for speeding is £100 fine and three points added to your licence.

If you’re a newly qualified driver and receive six points in the first two years after passing your test, your licence will be automatically revoked and you’ll need to complete your theory and practical tests again.
