Cars can travel up to 60 mph on single carriageways and up to 70 mph on dual carriageways or motorways. Larger vehicles, vans, and vehicles towing trailers must follow lower limits. In built-up areas, the standard remains 30 mph, unless signs state otherwise. Experts emphasize that speed limits are maximums, not targets. Weather, traffic, and visibility should influence the speed a driver chooses. The online debate serves as a reminder that road knowledge fades over time, and refreshing key rules can help drivers make safer decisions every day.
