General Questions

    Q - What are the speed limits on our roads?
    A - If the area is built up, there are houses, places of work & street lighting, it is very likely it will be a 30mph zone. All other limits will be clearly & regularly signed.

    Q - Can you advise me on the locations of cameras in the Greater Manchester area?
    A - Please look on www.drivesafe.org.uk

    Q - Can I get away with speeding because I drive a company car?
    A - No, the NIP will be sent to the company & it is then the responsibility of the company to inform us who was driving at the time of the offence.

    Q - I am a company car driver, who will pay?
    A - Unless your employers are very generous, it will be the driver themselves who pay the fine and receive the penalty points.

    Q - Are the rules different for new drivers?
    A - Yes. Inexperienced drivers, who passed their test less than two years ago, will only be allowed to accumulate 6 points (instead of 12) before they have their licence taken off them. They then cannot have it back until they have re-passed both their theory & practical driving tests.
