To help you get a head start on keeping your speeding under control and maintaining a strong Sense score, here are some easy-to-follow tips:
1. Stay aware of speed limits
Speed limits can change frequently, especially in urban areas. Keep an eye on road signs and adjust your speed accordingly. This is especially important in school zones, construction areas, or places with variable speed limits.
2. Use cruise control on long journeys
On longer trips, using cruise control can help you maintain a steady speed, especially on highways. This feature helps you to stay within the speed limit and save fuel.
3. Give yourself plenty of time
One of the most common reasons drivers speed is because they’re running late. By planning ahead and allowing extra time for your journey, you can avoid the temptation to push your speed past the limit.
4. Adjust for weather conditions
Even if the speed limit is high, road conditions may not be ideal for fast driving. In bad weather like rain, snow, or fog, it’s safer to drive below the speed limit. This helps you stay in control and avoid accidents.
5. Avoid rushing through traffic lights
Speeding up to beat a red light is a risky behaviour that could affect both your safety and your Sense score. It’s better to slow down and approach with caution, rather than rush through and risk a collision.
6. Stay focused on the road
Distractions like phones, food, or conversations can make it easy to miss a speed limit sign. Stay focused on the road and keep an eye on your speedometer to avoid any unnecessary speeding.
