While driving, you might be focused on checking your mirrors and keeping an eye on the road, but it's crucial not to forget about your speedometer. Develop a habit of checking your speedometer regularly, ideally every 5 minutes, to ensure you are within the legal speed limits. Regular checks will help you make necessary adjustments to avoid traffic tickets for speeding

Cruise control is an excellent tool for maintaining the correct speed, especially on long drives. Most modern cars come equipped with cruise control, which is ideal for speeds between 50 and 70 miles per hour.

Be alert, watch for, and obey speed limit signs. Use extra caution in school zones, residential areas, and on secondary roads. Remember that there is a reason for posted speed limits. Speed limits are designed to protect all – drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.

Speed limit reductions need to be made compelling through communications strategies (framing the problem); appropriate engineering changes such as road diets, lane narrowing, traffic calming, and roundabouts; and by speed enforcement

State and local governments can set lower speed limits than the Union Ministry's recommendations. For example, taxis and cabs are limited to 80 kmph on expressways and national highways because they have speed limiting devices
