Go.Compare also highlighted that New Years day is also typically a bad day for speeding on 20mph roads, with 92 percent of motorists spotted exceeding the limit on January 1st 2021.
However, no matter the day, drivers found speeding can face a fine of at least £100 and three penalty points on their driving licence.
If the case is taken to court, the fine can increase to £1,000, or £2,500 if the incident occurred whilst travelling on a motorway.
Tom added that the rollout of 20mph zones across built up areas of Wales during 2023 could see more motorists face fines.
He continued: “It’s interesting that roads with lower limits tend to experience a higher percentage of speeding vehicles.
“However, while speeding is more common, other studies have shown that lowering the limits helped to reduce the average speeds of drivers overall. So, although their introduction has been controversial, they could bring noteworthy improvements in road safety.”
