Do Drivers Have A Speeding Problem?

from Talkback with Petrie Hosken

The rollout of 20mph zones across the UK has been blamed for a surge in the number of drivers getting points on their licences. Nearly a million have had points added, a 32% increase in 3 years. Some blamed the rise on a 'culture of speeding', others pointed out that the growing number of 20mph roads was confusing and had simply caught out otherwise law-abiding drivers. Petrie wants to know, do you think there is a culture of speeding in the UK? Motoring Journalist and Broadcaster, Steve Berry, who you may also know from his tenure as a Top Gear presenter, details his passionate feelings on the topic. Transport and Travel Journalist, Ed Wiseman, also lays out his experiences before you get your chance to talk back. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
