Bank holiday speeding advisory
As the UK faces another Bank Holiday weekend in Covid-19 restrictions, Sally Lines, CEO of the Road Safety Trust is advising motorists to observe the speed limit and be extra vigilant whilst on the UK roads.
"With the long weekend and promising weather forecast, it is likely that there will be more cyclists and pedestrians undertaking their daily exercise whilst observing social distancing on UK roads. Drivers need to remain extra vigilant as this could mean that pedestrians and cyclists become unpredictable in their behaviour.
"When the roads are quieter there can be a temptation to drive faster than the speed limit. Knowing that speed is a contributing factor to road traffic collisions, we must respect the speeding laws and rules of the road. Speeding is a criminal offence and punishable by prosecution with points to your license or a fine.
"As per current Government advice, people should be staying at home and only going outside for food, health reasons or work (but only if you cannot work from home)."
