Speed Awareness - Top Tips

19th March 2007

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents has produced guidance on how to stay within the speed limit. RoSPA's head of road safety, Kevin Clinton, said: "Many car drivers unintentionally exceed the speed limit, often without realising it. Modern cars are so powerful and comfortable they give drivers little sensation of their speed".

Top ten tips:

    • Check your speedometer regularly
    • Speed limits are a maximum, not a target
    • Concentrate
    • Know the limit!
    • Assume lamp posts mean 30mph
    • 20's plenty (with children about)
    • Try 3rd gear in a 30mph limit
    • Be careful when entering villages
    • Be disciplined
    • Give yourself time

Rospa have produced a guidance document on the above which explains the thinking behind each tip. They also urge drivers to update their skills on a refresher driver training course, such as Speed Appreciation provided by Fawcett Driver Training.
