Devices that play films...
Devices that play films in cars are becoming increasingly popular ò€“ as long as you have lots of space in the console to mount the screen. Otherwise, it has to go in the rooflining, or on the back of a headrest.
The latest DfT figures...
The latest DfT figures show that while half of all drivers are still exceeding the limit, the number of accidents in which "excessive speed" is a factor is less than 5 percent. By comparison, only 2 percent of motorists drive while intoxicated, but drink is a factor in nearly 25 percent of road traffic accidents.
Paul Smith, founder of the Safe Speed campaign reacted: "I would like to hear the DfT explain why speeding is far more commonplace than speed related crashes."
He continued: "The vast majority of responsible motorists speed because they are correctly adjusting their speed to suit the road conditions ... this behaviour - setting a safe and appropriate speed according to the conditions - is a cornerstone of road safety. Attempting to replace this...with mere legal compliance is a deadly mistake."
