Employees who speed will face far higher car insurance premiums, a leading organisation asserts.
Recent research by moneysupermarket.com shows that being caught exceeding the limit or drink-driving can adversely affect premiums, with many rising by 91 per cent in the case of the latter.
Being caught speeding can raise car insurance premiums by ten per cent, with those found a second time costing 30 per cent and a third strike leading to an increase of 83 per cent.
Andy Leadbetter, managing director of insurance at moneysupermarket.com, states that the rules of the road are there for a reason.
He adds: "Exceeding the speed limit or diverting your attention from the road for a text or call can be catastrophic … My advice is to take care on the roads at all times."
In other news, the government's Driving for Better Business campaign could reduce car insurance premiums as it encourages motorists to improve their road safety.
