A California teenager is contesting a speeding ticket which claims he was doing 62mph in a 45mph zone, since a GPS system fitted to his Toyota Celica appears to show he was actually within the limit.
The British Department of Transportation believes that “active traffic management” - in which the speed limit varies according to the conditions - will be a cheaper way of accommodating rising traffic levels than widening motorways. Unfortunately, they are lowering the speed limit to 40mph, despite that a government survey showed that over half of drivers exceeded the 70mph speed limit.
