Meanwhile, London Mayor Sadiq Khan is understood to be considering further 20mph rollouts across the 65km of roads in the capital. Sat nav devices could therefore tell motorists routes are still 30mph when they are actually now 20mph.<\/p>\n
A whopping 40 percent of motorists claim they rely on sat navs when heading out on a road trip leaving dozens of road users at risk.<\/p>\n
Tim Alcock, spokesperson for LeaseCar.uk, said: \u201cWith new speed limits being introduced across the UK, it is extremely important that drivers aren\u2019t solely relying on their sat-navs to get the speed limit.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe devices may not update straight away, meaning motorists could be travelling 10mph over the new limits.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, road users who only passed their driving test within the past two years could lose their licence if they collect six penalty points.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cNew drivers need to be especially careful because they receive much harsher penalties, and could potentially get their driver’s licence revoked.<\/p>\n \u201cAlthough it will take some getting used to for drivers, these speed limits have been introduced to reduce accidents and fatalities on British roads.<\/p>\n \u201cThose driving in Wales must remember that the changes affect most 30mph roads, but speed limit signs will be in place where the speed limit has changed.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is important that drivers are always aware of their surroundings and be aware of traffic signs which are giving them instructions to avoid being caught out.\u201d<\/p>\n
