Speeding tech could save millions in fines
Technology which can read road signs could save drivers £327m in speeding fines.
According to new research by SEAT, the study of 2,000 UK motorists found that nearly 10% admitted to being caught speeding annually.
Meanwhile, over three quarters (76%) of drivers don’t always know what speed they are travelling at, with statistics compiled by the Department for Transport (DfT) showing over 50% of cars exceeded the speed limit on 30mph roads while 47% of cars broke the limit on motorways in 2020.
Richard Harrison, managing director of SEAT UK, said: “It’s certainly eye opening to see that significant numbers of motorists aren’t necessarily always aware of their own speeds, but thankfully there is in-car technology – like our Dynamic Road Sign Display – already on the market to make drivers safer on the road.”
