3. Speed Limits and Stopping Distances

93% of motorists said they have a sound knowledge of speed limits, yet only 50% could correctly identify the limit on a dual carriageway (70mph).

Almost a quarter of drivers think it is acceptable to speed if they think the limit is too low.

By many, speed is almost approved of - people can handle it, it's often necessary and many enjoy it - driving at 40mph in a 30mph zone was seen in one study as more acceptable than dropping litter (TNS).
