for a new driver u loose your full license if caught on your phone twice so its pretty strict, i dont think it would stop people doing it they know the risks are pretty high but have gotaway with it before so do it again as for speeding its bollocks that all speed it bad. its just dickheads that use inappropriate speed. On a quite dry motorway i see no issue with doing 85 or 70 on some big a roads however its just people dont realise how fast they are going for some condtions. Thats the problem with speed limits, no one thinks for themselves anymore or has common sence, they jsut see a sign that says 60 on it so drive at 60 no matter what the conditions are cause that must be ok. Saying that30 limits in residential areas are required, possibly even dropping to 20 in the wet
