Course overview
Being aware of your speed, complying with speed limits and driving at an appropriate speed for the road, weather and traffic conditions can be very challenging, especially when you’re in unfamiliar territory. There are other reasons why you may sometimes drive too fast: are you running late? Are you unaware of the speed limits? Are you feeling tired or preoccupied? Inappropriate speed is thought to be a factor in around a third of all road incidents, and penalties for exceeding the speed limit, even unintentionally, can be severe and impact heavily on your life.
Vehicle speed has a direct bearing on stopping distances and force of impact, meaning that speed can contribute to both the likelihood, and severity, of collisions. Wet roads, poor visibility, heavy traffic and the presence of vulnerable road users can sometimes mean that driving at the official speed limit is unsafe for the circumstances, and it is every driver's responsibility to ensure that their speed is appropriate for the prevailing conditions, as well as remaining legal.
