Do Speed Limits Need Updating?

from Talkback with Petrie Hosken

An investigation has revealed a persistent UK speeding culture, with over 30,000 drivers caught exceeding 30mph in 20mph zones and 275,000 topping 40mph in 30mph areas last year. Shocking extreme cases include 89mph in a 20mph limit in Wales and a terrifying 161mph overall on the M6. Despite widespread 20mph rollouts to reduce fatalities, severe speeding continues. Petire is asking, are current speed limits out of date? Hear the thoughts from Motoring Journalist and Broadcaster, Steve Berry, who you may know as a former presenter of Top Gear. Before giving your own opinions on whether speed limits in the UK need changing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
