Road Traffic Offences: Speed Limits

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the merits of running a pilot scheme to assess intervening intelligent speed assistance technologies for repeat speeding offenders.

Answer

The Department has not made a specific assessment of a pilot scheme for intervening intelligent speed assistance technologies for repeat speeding offenders. The Government keeps the motoring offences framework under review, but does not currently have plans to introduce intelligent speed assistance for those convicted of speeding offences.

Speed enforcement is an operational matter for the police. Sentencing in individual cases is a matter for the independent courts.
