94 percent of drivers admit to speeding

LONDON (Reuters) - Ninety-four percent of motorists admit to breaking the speed limit, while almost a quarter do so because they think the limit is too low, according to a survey published on Friday.

A third of young drivers aged 18 to 29 said they regularly broke the speed limit, while almost 60 percent of drivers think it is acceptable to speed on empty roads, the survey by Direct Line found.

The Department of Transport estimates that one in three road deaths are caused by speeding.

The survey found that motorists thought it was acceptable to speed when there was an emergency (33 percent), if the limit was considered to be too low (24 percent) or if there was less traffic about (21 percent).
