Know Your Speed Limits | Learn to drive: Highway Code

When was the last time you brushed up your knowledge of the UK speed limits? You might think that they’re fairly obvious, but what if we drive a van - or tow a trailer? There are even minimum speed limits in some areas! If we break the speed limit, we could risk our safety and the safety of others, receive a fine and points, or even go to court where we could lose our driving license. In this video, we will show how UK speed limits work so we are always aware of the maximum speed allowed.

1. Presence of street lights generally means that there is a 30 mph speed limit, unless there are signs to tell us otherwise. 2. No street lights or signs, than the default speed limit is the national speed limit. For a car = 60 mph on a single carriage way road and 70 on dual carriage way or motorways. Presence of a barrier or central reservation is what makes a dual carriage way.

[@arlefsuarez]

Why is it that difficult to just put speed limit signs for everyone's safety? Rather than guessing what speed limit it is.

[@vdotme]

When have you ever been asked to guess? The National limit is 70 for cars, 60 for Heavy vehicles on Motorway & Dual carriageway, and those figures -10 on a single carriageway. Signs will tell you when National limits end & local limits apply which are signposted. National limits always end in built up areas. In a built up area stick to 30 max unless a sign instructs uou otherwise. You need to learn this rule because they don't want sign clutter due to other information that needs to be give by sign.

Hi there, I know you're very busy, but I have an important question that I hope you will answer. I've been driving on my father's insurance as an added driver, using my provisional licence. I've now passed my test, and would like to know if I need to do anything with the insurance. I'm still an added driver (second driver) , and have quite a bit of time left on my insurance coverage for the rest of the year. What would I need to do now, if you can please help me. Thank you

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Hi. You were previously insured as a provisional licence holder, so the moment you passed your test your insurance was no longer valid as you now hold a full driving licence. So before you can drive on your own, your father must contact his insurer and change his cover to reflect your new licence status. Good luck!

[@JaneCooper190072]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool OK, Thank you very much for replying. I figured as much, I was getting a very good deal but that's probably cause it was just on a provisional. Would it be much more with a full licence to be added as a 2nd driver do you know ?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

The cost of insuring a learner is usually quite reasonable as you are always going to be supervised - but once you can drive on your own the cost will definitely rise! The actual amount will vary considerably depending on a few factors, such as the type of car, your age, where you live etc.

[@Zulu_November]

Can I I ask a quite strange question? I was driving at a suburb area of London the other day. I was in a 30mph speed limit zone in the city than joined to a dual carriageway road it was no speed limit sign so I assumed the speed limit is 70 mph. I accelerated up to 50 mph than drove along for another 2.5 miles when I saw a yellow speed camera and right behind a 50 mph sign. I googled it and turned out that section of the dual carriageway was on a 30 mph speed limit. When I joined on the slip road there’s was no sign not even the smaller repeater speed limit signs along that road. It was a camera sign without speed limit written underneath it. I mean there are some camera signs with speed limit on it to remember. In this case if the camera caught me who’s wrong? I think it’s a legal requirement to have a clear a speed limit sign if I join on from a different road. In this example I came from A1020 towards A13 eastbound. Can someone help please?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

There is no requirement to show the speed limit for each road separately. Unless we see a new speed limit sign we should assume the limit is still the same. There are many dual carriageways that have a 30mph limit (as shown in our video) so be careful where you choose to drive faster.

[@Zulu_November]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool I understand but coming out of the city which has 30 mph joining on a dual carriageway with no sign do I just carry on 30 mph until I see it otherwise? Doesn’t seem practical at all. If on a road the speed limit changes should be a sign for it.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Yes, stay at your current speed until you see a new limit. The limit doesn’t increase until you see a sign! 👍🏼

[@lovrito2008]

I think that the speed limit is always 30 mph in areas with street lights, regardless whether the road is a single or dual carriageway. The 70 mph speed limit on dual carriageways applies only if there are no street lights.

[@philkelly4732]

The emergence of upteen 20 MPH zones in my home city are causing real safety issues! So few drivers are aware of the limit and try to employ tailgating bullying tactics to make progress. The only way to avoid is to pull over and let them pass. I've even been UNDERtaken by a push bike on the pavement doing more than 20 MPH on a main arterial route! The only people that obey are L drivers under tuition. What's to be done? Councils have the cash to install but not police and Police don't have any resources and volunteer neighbourhood speed watch groups are hard to organise in urban areas. Your thoughts? Phil

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

I think that if they're installed in the correct areas (school zones / busy town centres etc), they are fine - as any sensible driver should want to drive at that speed anyway. However if they are installed in places where the majority of drivers think that 30mph is safe then the problems you state occur. All we can do as a driver is obey the limits and watch out for danger.

Paul Wallace Put your windscreen washer on... sprays all over their windscreen and they back off. If that doesn’t work, just drive slower and slower - not only does this make the situation safer by lowering the speed of a potential collision, but they soon realise that if they stop tailgating, you’ll go faster. That’s the politically correct answer... I simply slam on the brakes... and laugh as they shit themselves and swerve to avoid me 😂 They never go ANYWHERE near me after that manoeuvre 😂

It's a myth that people drive X over the speed limit, some limits I know that seem quite generous by today's standards have exceptionally high levels of compliance.

[@quackchung]

Yes unfortunately it becomes the norm to go at least 5 mph over the speed limit, as you're probably programmed to do 3 years later from your comment. The police do it and even driving instructors without students do it. The problem is the majority do it, especially if feeling pressured if there's a long tail back of pissed off drivers. I do it myself now, but only on an extremely clear section of road with good visibility all around, never between parked cars or busy environments etc. Still, this doesn't make it alright. The only thing the 20 mph speed restriction changed for the majority, is that it changed them from a usual 40 speeder in 30 mph zone to a 30 speeder in a 20 mph zone. Maybe they should treat us like children and introduce these 10 mph reduced speed changes across the board to achieve a satisfactory max speed limit without informing us of the intention. Then maybe not fining the majority, but enough, maybe for other discrepancies or circumstances and to keep us all guessing and on our toes. Conclusion: That would make more sense to me. thinking I shouldn't be doing this, whilst the law is having a chuckle at my ignorance at the intention behind the changes. I think the majority would see 10 mph over the limit as a liberty and be already programmed not to go beyond. Peace out.

Do you think it's unhelpful when councils stick the speed limit start X distance away from the start of a built up area rather than right next to the first house or where there's a clear change to the roads character? I can understand their intuition for doing so, but if drivers are not slowing down before they get to the sign, I can't help but think that's increasingly becoming a learned behaviour because so many councils cry wolf.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Perhaps the council know that children / pets / other hazards won't stay right out side their house, and could be some distance away. Reducing the speed limit well before a built up area allows for this, and also gives careless drivers a little more time to reduce their speed.

[@ajuk1]

@@AdvanceDrivingSchool I think what you described is the intuition behind it, rather than what happens in practise.

However, bear in mind that you should only drive as fast as you feel it is safe to, and don’t break speed limits!

Aha I’m from Edinburgh as well and it’s awful! There’s some roads here that do not need to be 20, can be pretty irritating at times

[@freshprince8484]

Its all to slow the roads down to make more money

[@LilyCat-qb8dw]

Okay, so I'm on a one way, and here comes another car. The other way now that's crazy, crazy, crazy.

[@ralucaalexa8852]

What's the speed limit on countryside if its raining?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

The speed limit doesn’t change for poor weather - you must decide how fast to drive in order to be safe.

[@ralucaalexa8852]

Many thanks for your answer. On my first driving test I failed because I drove on 34mph, second time I failed on 48mph and marked as I overspeed, same routes on both driving tests and there is 60 speed limit , and I’m so confused as I had 2 different instructors. I have my next test driving next week, if I will have the same route, honestly I have no idea in which speed should I drive on countryside😞

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

There is no set speed to drive at, as it depends on many factors. When the road is clear and straight drive near to the speed limit, but slow down for any kind of hazard or bend. Ask your instructor to practice this more if needed. Good luck 🤞🏼

[@ralucaalexa8852]

Thank you very much for your advice, I keep watching your videos which makes my self more confident. ❤

[@rscosworthfan]

most street lighted areas have gone down to 20 now

[@NoBody-gf8ie]

If they have then there will be repeaters on the lamp posts otherwise just lamp post's means 30mph

[@user-yl3tw8bn6z]

lol people in the uk don't strict with rules.i'm always following speed limit but drivers mad about that,they are opening their flashes even in midnight.idk why the drivers are so rude but most roads in uk are divided way so people MUST drive slow.

[@thestreetlightcollection]

Why do people increase speed before they cross the sign.

[@dandoleyuwi6725]

When I clump to hills, how will I give the engine power

[@thefalloutghost7466]

Just to clear it up, the idea that you can accelerate up to an increased speed limit sign is incorrect?

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

Yes - as the speed limit only changes at the sign. We must be patient and wait until we get there before speeding up.

[@shushuabdulrahman6896]

I failed the test 6 times. I was very worried during the test. I don’t know what can I do. If anyone help me please.

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

If you are failing because of anxiety or nerves then watch our video for suggestions to help you control your emotions. Or if you are failing because of poor judgment or driving skill, then work on your weaknesses before attempting another test. Why not do a full mock test with your instructor to see if you are ready?

[@bassyvorst3938]

what does stop sign mean

[@martaolivia5213]

It means you can go 👍

[@byronchavarria4954]

STOP

[@TheCWMHALL]

Many signs in the countryside have branches and greenery which obliterate the signs .

Speed Limits In The United States 🇺🇸 Are Indicated In Miles Per Hour But They Go By Every 5 Miles Per Sign Instead Of 10 Miles Example 45 50 55 60 75 And 80 MPH And No Red Circle Plus In New York State It Says On STATE SPEED LIMIT 55 MPH On Motorways Parkways Highways And Expeessways

[@chichi-iw2ik]

Byron Chavarria America is KM/H

[@dogshowish]

It is about time cars should be restricted to only do max speed because I seen them doing more then 30 mph on roads just think if you hit a child or pedestrian would you regret it?

[@OH2023-cj9if]

Most accidents and road deaths in 30mph roads are always less than 20.

[@ThisIsNotRealityBase]

Where did you get that information?

[@byronchavarria4954]

Parkways Is American Slang For Motorways 🛣️ Especially In New York State And New Jersey State

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

You can do it! 🚙👍🏼

[@Akeso_ppp]

wish they build no speed limit road like in germany……

[@hubertkam7647]

The speed limits in the uk are too low for the roads which are mostly good quality and wide on highways it should be at 100mph speed limit like in Poland

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

There has been a campaign for many years to increase the speed limit on motorways to 80mph - but it is unlikely to ever change, especially since the extra energy needed to drive faster is at odds with the current focus on saving energy and helping the environment. By the way, the motorways in Poland have a 140kph limit, which is about 86mph. Germany is the place to go if you want to drive faster!

[@byronchavarria4954]

And In The US 🇺🇸 Australia 🇦🇺 Canada 🇨🇦 Japan 🇯🇵 Too Low

Got my test today and don't know half the speed limits round my area 😂💀

Drivers speed because we have 'speed limits' rather than 'safety limits'

[@vigilantclips5912]

Scares me how UK is very few countries that use miles per hour why didn't they switch decades ago

[@AdvanceDrivingSchool]

We invented speed limits in 1861, so why should we change away from the original and best measurement - miles per hour?

[@baileyharrison1030]

What’s the point? That would never win a vote. In fact it’s interesting to note that not a single country that switched to the metric system, did the people do so voluntarily. Many were forced out of economic necessity due to relying heavily on other metric countries.
