Geoff Hoon loves driving as well so I doubt it will be introduced!

Quote from his Telegraph interview which I was shown at Uni.

I drove 3,500 miles this summer on our family holiday, we drove across 10 countries. I have driven across the United States four times. I love cars, I love being in cars, I think so do most people.

I want to help and support those people who have that same kind of enthusiasm for driving that I have.

There will be no blanket 50mph limit. COuncils are to have discretion to identify roads that they think need a lower limit, then it goes to local public consultation.

Half the roads round here that you'd expect to be 60 are 40, the rest are 50. If half the planet got on our side they'd keep reducing the limits anyways so fup it.
