A poll of drivers in the UK found that many want to have lower speed limits on highways in wet weather. Conducted by the RAC, the survey of 2,100 drivers found that 72 percent wanted to see the current 70 mph (113 km/h) limit lowered when wet conditions are present.

According to The Guardian, in response to some of the survey’s other prompts, more than 75 percent felt this proposed policy would actually encourage drivers to slow down, over 75 percent also felt it would save lives, and another nearly 66 percent felt it could also improve visibility by reducing the amount of spray shot up by vehicles.

As for what the speed limit would be reduced to, around 33 percent of the survey participants wanted 60 mph (97 km/h), while 17 percent wanted 65 mph (105 km/h). Using France—whose speed limits are reduced 15 percent from 80 mph (130 km/h) to 68 mph (110km/h) in wet and/or slippery conditions—as an example, that same reduction to the UK’s 70 mph (113 km/h) limit would come out to just about that 60 mph (97 km/h) mark for wet weather conditions.

Regarding the survey, RAC data insight spokesperson Rod Dennis said: “Statistically, the UK has some of the safest motorways in Europe, but it’s also the case that there hasn’t been a reduction in casualties of all severities on these roads since 2012, so perhaps there’s an argument for looking at different measures to help bring the number of casualties down.

“While most drivers already adjust their speed when the weather turns unpleasant, figures show that ‘driving too fast for the conditions’ and ‘slippery roads’ are still among the top 10 reasons for motorway collisions and contribute to significant numbers of serious injuries and even deaths every year.”
