One of the biggest questions learner drivers ask is: “How fast should I be driving right now?” And honestly — it’s a good question. Driving too fast is dangerous. But driving too slowly can also cause problems… and even fail your driving test.
In this video, we’ll show you the main UK speed limits, how to recognise different types of roads, when it’s okay to drive below the limit, and how to choose a safe, confident speed — not just a legal one. By the end, you’ll feel much clearer about what speed you should be driving at.
