It has been announced that the current speed limit on motorways of 70 MPH is to be raised to 80 MPH in 2013. The government states that the plan aims to bring motorists a number of benefits including improved journey times and considerable economic benefits.
What effect will this have on the amount of people making a motor accident compensation claim? Speeding is among the most common causes of road accidents in the UK and a collision at high speed can result in greater personal injury.
Excessive speeding is not the only way that motorists can put other drivers at risk. Increasing your speed by only five MPH in the wrong place can be just as risky as excessive speeding.
