Driving Lessons: Highway Code Speed Limits

Information regarding the speed limit that apply to roads in the UK is clearly set out in the Highway Code and is something that is part of the tuition that every student enrolling with Bill Plant is familiar with.

However, reader enquiries in the popular press often ask, are there any guidelines for the police to follow when placing their mobile cameras close to signs which indicate a change in the limit? Well the short answer to this is no, because the police can issue fixed penalty notices for exceeding the limit anywhere within the boundaries and frequently do so as drivers exiting a limit, are prone to accelerate prematurely, so be warned and remember that the speed limit exists all the way between the road signs indicating the mandatory top speed.
