Proportion of drivers exceeding 60mph increased from 10% to 17% from April to June
Motorists on UK roads during the spring coronavirus lockdown were significantly more likely than usual to be breaking the speed limit, government data has shown.
The proportion of drivers exceeding the national 60mph speed limit on single-carriageway roads almost doubled from 10% to 17% from April to June this year, while on urban roads about 63% of cars broke the 30mph limit when they could, up from 56% in 2019.
