Middle aged drivers most likely to speed

Middle-aged drivers are most likely to have speeding fines according to an insurance survey, which also shows surgeons, company directors and barristers are heavy-footed behind the wheel.

A survey of more than 14m insurance quotes on Moneysupermarket.com showed that both men and women aged 40-49 had the highest conviction rate with 8.6 per cent and 11.4 per cent respectively. This was closely followed by those in their thirties, and then those aged between 50 and 64 years old.
