European speed limits and fines Drive safely and remember that speed does not necessarily kill. There is only one way for drivers to set their speed at a safe level: They must always choose a speed that allows them to stop comfortably, on their own side of the road, within the distance that they can guarantee to be clear. This is no call for unlawful behavior
