An investigation by the RAC reveals that nearly half of UK police forces recorded drivers speeding over 90mph on roads with a 30mph limit within 20 months. This reckless behavior poses significant risks to pedestrians and cyclists, particularly in vulnerable areas. The investigation data, collected via Freedom of Information requests, highlights alarming speeds such as 122mph in South Yorkshire. The RAC is calling on the government to prioritize road safety strategies to mitigate these avoidable casualties, emphasizing the crucial need for immediate action against speeding.
Nearly half (48%) of UK police forces caught drivers exceeding 90mph on 30mph roads in 20 months. The RAC urges government action to improve road safety.
The highest recorded speed on 30mph roads was an alarming 122mph. These figures highlight the reckless behavior of motorists that endangers lives, particularly of vulnerable road users.
The statistics reveal a pressing issue in road safety, particularly in areas with lower speed limits where pedestrian presence is greater, necessitating immediate government attention.
The RAC's findings underscore the need for enhanced road safety strategies to address the high incidences of speeding, particularly in residential areas where more pedestrians are at risk.
