Driver caught doing 114mph in a 30 near primary school and another did 161mph

An investigation revealed that over 30,000 UK motorists were caught speeding on roads with a 20mph limit last year, with some drivers reaching dangerously high speeds such as 114mph near a primary school and 161mph on major highways. The data comes from Freedom of Information requests sent to UK police forces, showing that many drivers exceeded speed limits by significant margins. The findings highlight concerns about reckless driving behavior and the risks posed to pedestrians and other road users. While some regions like Wales and parts of England have implemented lower speed limits, there is debate over the impact of these changes on traffic flow and urban mobility.
