This will not fix a speeding problem.
Drivers will go over the limits no matter what the signs say. It's about attitude, mindset and thought for others safety.
A speed limit is only enforced when the police are there to enforce it. A sign doesn't change a driver's attitude.

TWO MONTHS WITH A LICENCE. ALREADY HAVING THE CAR TAKEN AWAY. 🚔

Some people pass their test and immediately decide they’re auditioning for Fast & Furious: Merseyside Drift.
The examiner has barely put the clipboard down and apparently they’ve become a professional racing driver.

According to the police update shared, officers responding to complaints of anti-social driving spotted this VW Polo travelling at high speed and being driven erratically. The driver had held their licence for just two months. Officers stopped the vehicle and seized it under Section 59.

Two months. You’re still learning how to drive independently, yet already giving the neighbourhood a reason to ring the police.

Passing your test doesn’t mean you’ve finished learning.
It means you’ve reached the standard to continue learning without your instructor beside you.
That empty passenger seat should mean more responsibility, not less restraint.

Build your experience by reading the road, keeping sensible space and recognising hazards early. Pressing an accelerator takes very little skill. Knowing when to ease off takes judgement.

Other people shouldn’t have to gamble with their safety while you find out that your confidence is several miles ahead of your ability.

You worked hard for your freedom.
Don’t turn your first few months of driving into an introduction to the recovery truck.

£50 fixed penalties handed out for dazzling drivers in clear weather 😅💸

Leaving bright red rear fog lights switched on during clear, rainy, or slightly misty nights is highly dangerous, as it aggressively dazzles the driver behind and masks the illumination of the brake lights. The Highway Code dictates that fog lights must only be used when visibility is seriously reduced to less than 100 metres. Traffic police are actively targeting motorists who forget to switch them off, issuing £50 on-the-spot fines for inappropriate use of vehicle lighting.
