Official speed limit on Britain's motorway?

The limit being tested is the standard maximum speed for cars on British motorways. On motorways, the default speed limit is 70 mph, unless a sign or roadworks temporarily lowers it. So you should aim for up to 70 mph when conditions are safe. The other numbers are limits for different road types or situations and aren’t the usual motorway limit, while 70 mph is the standard figure learners are expected to know.
