Many drivers believe in the 10 percent +2 rule, which suggests a minor leeway over speed limits without repercussions. However, this belief is misleading. Andrew Jervis, CEO of Click Mechanic, emphasized that speed limits are established based on safety factors, and exceeding them can lead to severe consequences. Individual police forces determine enforcement, which can result in fines for drivers. Additionally, common myths about speed cameras, such as their visibility requirements, further complicate the understanding of speed regulations. Ultimately, adherence to speed limits is crucial for road safety.
Speed limits are not arbitrary figures; they are carefully determined based on factors such as road design, traffic flow, and pedestrian activity.
The misconception of a 10 percent leeway could not only see drivers getting fines and/or points on their licence but can cause fatal road traffic collisions.
