On March 23rd from 10am until 3pm, it would be great to see you and answer any questions you may have on driving.  It will be packed full of activities and useful features with something on offer for every business.  You can benefit from lots of practical information, advice and opportunities to meet local businesses. 

How do you know you are in a 30 mph zone?  what does it look like?  As I am currently involved with speed awareness courses in Greater Manchester, Liverpool and North Wales. The amount of people ending up on these courses, who really did not know they were in a 30 zone, seems to be on the increase.

 

However it is very simple to work out. Rule 124 of the highway code states you must not exceed the maximum speed limits for the road and for your vehicle the presence of street lights generally means there is a 30 mph speed limit unless otherwise specified.

 

So when you are on the road and have ‘lost the plot’ on the speed limit which we all do from time to time just look for the lights,  if there is regular street lights i.e. more than one street lamp, do 30 miles an hour unless you see a sign that tells you can do something else.

 

30 mph signs do not have to be repeated, so therefore once you enter a 30 zone you will not see another 30 sign until the speed limit changes,  this is why it is easy to ‘lose the plot’.

 

Many people believe that dual carriageways are higher speed limits, this is simply not true Aigburth Road example is a 30 miles an hour speed limit, the Bootle end (which includes the flyover at County road) and Allerton Road end of Queens Drive is also a 30 zone.

 

If anybody has any questions on speed limits please feel free to e-mail me 

It seems that the Rural Roads in the USA are just as dangerous as the UK Rural Roads.  The US research shows fatal accident happen on rural roads more than on interstate highways or city streets, the same as the UK again!

These Statistics are promoting police to intensity their efforts on the rural roads. 

There does not seem to be a single reason for this but here is my opinion. On rural roads we tend to drive faster even though our view of the road ahead can be restricted, especially if you 'know' the road,  also if you do crash, go though a hedge and get trapped then you are in trouble because there may not be any witnesses to help or to call the emergency services for you.

So go with the ultimate rule of safe driving - Drive to a speed where you can stop well within the distance you can see to be clear (preferably shiny side up)
